Hornbostel–Sachs
Hornbostel–Sachs
or
Sachs–Hornbostel
is a system of
musical instrument classification
devised by
Erich Moritz von Hornbostel
and
Curt Sachs
, and first published in the
Zeitschrift für Ethnologie
in 1914. An English translation was published in the
Galpin Society Journal
in 1961. It is the most widely used system for classifying
musical instruments
by
ethnomusicologists
and
organologists
(people who study musical instruments). The system was updated in 2011 as part of the work of the Musical Instrument Museums Online (MIMO) Project.
