Instrument à percussion composé de deux bâtonnets de bois frappés l'un sur l'autre. On peut répartir les instruments à percussion en deux grandes familles : les membraphones (peau d'animal tendue sur un résonateur ou sur un simple cadre) et les idiophones (instruments à lames, à claviers, ainsi que tous les instruments de bruitage, ayant en commun de ne pas comporter de caisse de résonance). Les claves se classent parmi les instruments à bruitage.
