Answer:
Explanation:
<u>An aerophone is a term for musical instruments that produce sound with the vibrations of the air. </u>Most notably these are instruments played when the air is directly blown into them.
<u>However, the group is much wider and it includes all the instruments that do not play with the help of the strings, membranes or vibration of the instrument itself, but only the air vibrations. </u>
Sometimes this air is contained in the instrument itself, but other types of aerophones do not work this way. These are free aerophones. Some of them are
- bull-roarer
- harmonica
- whip/slapstick
- pitch pipe
The others are also called wind instruments and in them, the air is contained in the instrument that is played.
The most notable instruments that ARE aerophone are <u>flute, clarinet, cornet, saxophone, trombone, tuba, vuvuzela, tin whistle, pan flute, pipe, brass, reed, accordina (melodica), accordion, oboe, Bagpipes, baritone horn, clarinet, English horn, french horn, harmonica, ocarina, Didgeridoo, Piccolo, pipe organ, concertina.</u>
