
idiophones,


membranophones,


such as drums or kazoos, which produce sound by a vibrating
membrane;
chordophones,


such as the xylophone, which produce sound by vibrating
themselves;
such as the piano or cello, which produce sound by vibrating strings;
aerophones,

such as the pipe organ or oboe, which produce sound by vibrating
columns of air.
There are other categories, but these are the main 4.
The OLDEST category system originates in China

Armenia

Location – close to Greece

Armenian musics combine features of
both Asian and European musics.
They draw on traditions from the
Middle East in that they are essentially
monodic and modal with a strong
tonal centre, and have auxiliary notes
that provide an antithesis to the tonic
assisting in the unfolding of the
melody.
At the same time, they share the
dynamics and temporal organization
of melodic development found to the
West.


The Rebab

Rabāb [rubāb, rubob, rebab, rabob, robāb,
ribāb, rbab, rabāba etc.].

A term for various chordophones,
particularly lutes (mainly with skin
soundtable), both bowed and plucked,
and lyres, found mainly in North Africa,
the Middle East, Iran, Central Asia, South
Asia and South-east Asia, but also in many
other regions influenced by Islam: from
China to the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, Indonesia to Spain (and thence to
Latin America). Grove Music Online

Example of
Armenian
K’amancha
Duduk

Bālābān [balaman, yasti balaman, duduk].

Cylindrical oboe of the Caucasus (particularly
Azerbaijan), northern Iran and north-east Iraq.
In northern Iran the bālābān is also known by
its older Turkish name nerme ney or mey.
It has a cylindrical wooden pipe, a broad reed
and eight finger-holes, giving the scale E♭
(with an A♮). The warm, full tone of the
bālābān is often used with the choghur (lute)
and qāvāl (frame drum) to accompany the
singing of an ‘āshiq (poet-singer); it is also
played solo, and in pairs with one instrument
providing a drone. Grove Music Online

Generic definition on next slide…
Zither definition



According to the classification system of Hornbostel and Sachs
(1914; see Chordophone), a zither is a ‘simple chordophone’,
consisting solely of a string bearer (and its string or strings) or
of a string bearer with a resonator that can be detached
without destroying the sound-producing apparatus.
Zithers are thus distinguished from ‘composite chordophones’,
such as harps and lutes, in which the string bearer and a
resonator are organically united and cannot be separated
without destroying the instrument.
Whereas the strings of a lute or lyre extend past the face of
the instrument along a neck or out to a yoke, and those of a
harp extend away from the soundboard, the strings of a zither
do not go beyond or away from the body of the instrument.
