What is an "idiophone"?
An idiophone is a type of percussion instrument where the primary sound is produced by the vibration of the instrument's own material, rather than by the vibration of a membrane or string. Examples include bells, cymbals, and xylophones. When an idiophone is struck, shaken, or otherwise activated, its entire body vibrates to create sound. These instruments are valued for their ability to produce clear, resonant tones and are used in a wide range of musical genres and settings.
