	WHAT_MANNER_2000
		A membranophone is a class of musical percussion instrument from which sound is produced by the vibration of a membrane called a head, stretched across a resonator.
		Membranophones may be of definite or indefinite pitch, having one or two heads.
		To classify a specific membranophone, one usually considers whether there are snares or sticky balls to improve the tone, how the membrane is attached to the resonator, how it is tuned, how it is played and the constituent material of the body of the instrument.

		There are two basic types - skin drums and (the lesser known) mirlitons. Membranophones may be of definite or indefinite pitch, having one or two heads.
		It must be concluded that the steelpan cannot be definitively classified as either an idiophone or a membranophone. It is unique and may be considered to be the first truly hybrid percussion instrument invented by man.

		Membranophones are instruments that consist of a membrane stretched across an opening and the surface is struck.
		This particular membranophone played a major role in the instruments used in religious performance and victorious battle celebrations.
		Idiophones are self-sounding instruments, or instruments that produce sound from the instrumentÆs material of construction.

	WHAT MANNER OF INSTRUMENT IS THIS?
		Un membranophone es un tipo de instrumento de percusión musical del cual el sonido es producido por la vibración de una membrana llamada una cabeza, estirada a través de un resonador.
		Los membranophones pueden ser de un tipo claro o impreciso, con una o dos cabezas.
		Para clasificar un membranophone específico, uno considera generalmente si hay trampas o bolas pegajosas para mejorar el tono, cómo se liga la membrana al resonador, cómo se fina, cómo se toca y el material constitutivo del cuerpo del instrumento.

		Membranophone: This class of instruments is characterized by the sound coming from a membrane (made of plastic, paper, or skin) that is stretched over the body of the instrument.
		It is not a membranophone like other drums because it does not have anything stretched over it, like a skin or paper.
		It is classified as an idiophone because it is completely one piece of wood and it is struck to make its sound.

		The instrumentation of calypsos did not stop evolving during the 20th century.
		Forced, since 1884 to abandon the membranophone and idiophone polyrhythms (*) such as the drums, the bamboo, or rum bottles beaten with a spoon, the orchestras will then adopt cordophones from Venezuela like the guitar, the cuatro, the mandolin, accompanied by the shack-shack.
		A membranophone, according to the Sach and Hornbostel classification (used in ethnomusicology), is an instrument whose vibrant material is a membrane stretched on a rigid support (like the drums); a idiophone is an instrument whose vibrant material is rigid, unsusceptible to tension (like the shack-shack, the clave, the xylophone, or the steeldrum).
