Information about Latvian musical instruments:
The instruments are ordered according to the three-group system. In the
scolarly literature about the Latvian folk music instruments,
the system of Hornbostel-Zaks is generally
used, in which instruments are first divided according to the source of
the sound (idiophons,
membranophons, chordophons and aerophons), and then subdivided according to the
way of extraction of the sound, e.g. pulstaile, bow, strummed etc. Despite the
advantages of this system for the scholarly works, it does
not correspond to intuitive perception of people, e.g. the triangle
is self-sounding and timbrel - mebran-sounding, though both are perceived
by listeners as pulsatile. Therefore we have chosen the so called
three-group system.
