[jazzy saxophone music] there's also chordophones, which have stretched strings. those, of course, can be set into motion by bows or by plectra or picks. chordophones have all sorts of different timbres depending on what you bring to the instrument. another category is idiophones. those are those instruments that sound like themselves like a bell. its entire structural material is its acoustic material.
