Cristal Baschet
-friction idiophone
-crystallophone		 gaiaphone The Cristal Baschet uses friction of wet fingertips on glass bars to produce sound. pitched percussion
Electrocardiophone
Electrophone 53 quintephone The electrocardiophone is an experimental musical instrument and diagnostic tool which uses heart rhythms to generate or modulate sounds through a synthesizer.
Electroencephalophone
Electrophone 53 quintephone The electroencephalophone is an experimental musical instrument and diagnostic tool which uses brain waves (measured in the same way as an EEG) to generate or modulate sounds through a synthesizer.
Electromyographone
Electrophone 53 quintephone The electrocardiophone uses electromyogram (EMG) signals from muscle movement fed into a synthesizer to control an audio tone.


Glasschord
-struck idiophone
-crystallophone
-glass tubular bells		 gaiaphone Glass tubes struck with cloth-covered wooden hammers, activated by keyboard pitched percussion
Glass harmonica
--friction idiophone
--crystallophone		 111.222 gaiaphone United States pitched percussion glass harmonica
Glass marimba
-struck idiophone
-crystallophone		 gaiaphone Glass plates struck with mallets (with compressed silicon or bouncy balls on the ends). pitched percussion xylophone
Hydraulophone
hydraulophone Hydraulophones are played by direct physical action of water unpitched percussion
Plasmaphone[2]
electrophone 53 plasmaphone Canada, Fluidly Limitless User Interfaces Devices (FL UI D), Laboratory University of Toronto, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Plasmaphone is a category in elementary organology. The instrument name comes from the category plasmaphones, in which the sound comes from plasma. unpitched percussion
Pyrophone
plasmaphone Uses explosions to produce sound in pipes. Weak similarity to pipe organ or calliope (which run air/steam through pipes, but producing sound through the friction of air on ducts). pitched percussion Steam calliope
pipe organ
Asadullah (Meerut, India)


Rijke tube
aerophone A cylindrical tube with both ends open, inside of which a heat source is placed that turns heat into sound, by creating a self-amplifying standing wave, due to thermo-acoustic instability. Sound created through movement of heat and air (aerophone) through gauze. No plasma generated (not a plasmaphone). unpitched percussion
Shishi odoshi (Japan)
struck idiophone hydraulophone
gaiaphone		 Japan; used to scare birds and deer from crops and to decorate gardens. Water moves the bamboo section (hydraulophone). Noise produced from bamboo striking hard surface (gaiaphone). unpitched percussion
