Musical
Instrument Encyclopedia - The lessons
about music begin immediately on this Website, as you begin by
choosing among four ways to expand your search for instruments:
alphabetical, geographical, hierarchical, and type of material.
Hierarchical organized according to the Sachs-Hornbostel classical
scheme, we are told is the best route for advanced users and is a
good way to learn about hierarchies in organology. Hierarchical
expands to percussion: idiophones, percussion: membranophones,
strings, winds, and electronic. Historians will be happier
starting in geographical, where they are first provided with a
clickable map of the world with areas identified by different
colors. Click on an area to get a list of countries in that area;
click on a country for the icons of each instrument originating in
that country. Each search method soon leads to instrument icons.
The icons are linked to descriptions and histories of the
individual instruments. The site is beautifully illustrated and
orchestrated by the University of Michigan.
