On distingue les instruments à cordes frappées; à cordes pincées; et à cordes frottées. [Première] catégorie : L'instrument le plus important de cette catégorie est le piano. [...] On sait que les cordes sont frappées par un marteau garni de feutre, qu'elles s'appuient sur des chevalets au moyen desquels elles transmettent leur vibration à une table d'harmonie, laquelle entraîne à son tour par son ébranlement la masse d'air adhérente à sa surface. 2, record 1, French, - instrument%20%C3%A0%20cordes%20frapp%C3%A9es
