The document summarizes the Hornbostel-Sachs system of musical instrument classification. It divides instruments into 4 main categories: aerophones, which produce sound by vibrating air; chordophones, which produce sound by vibrating strings; membranophones, which produce sound by vibrating membranes, like drums; and idiophones, which produce sound by the instrument itself vibrating without strings, membranes, or air vibration. Examples are provided for each of the four main categories.
