A chordophone is a musical instrument that makes sound by way of a vibrating string or strings stretched between two points.It is one of the four main divisions of instruments in the original Hornbostel-Sachs scheme of musical instrument classification.What many would call string instruments are classified as chordophones. Violins, guitars, lyres, and harps are examples.owever, the word also embraces instruments that many westerners would hesitate to call string instruments, such as the musical bow and the piano (which, although sometimes called a string instrument, is also called a keyboard instrument and a percussion instrument).
In constructing their instruments, Aboriginal Australians use the resources at hand. Most of their instruments fall into the idiophone class, where instruments consist of two separate parts which are stuck together to give a percussive sound. Throughout Australia, this kind of instrument takes many different forms.Of the membraphones, or skinned drum types, there is only one example. There are no chordophones, or string instruments; however in the aerophone, or wind instrument class, one example provides an outstanding exhibition of musical ingenuity.o the Australian aboriginal, music is understood naturally and is an integral part of life. In the west, by contrast, music tends to be separated from life. For example, a Western music student must learn to understand a composed piece of music, like a Beethoven symphony or one of Bach's works.
