Friction Idiophones
Friction idiophones is designation 13 in the Hornbostel-Sachs system of musical instrument classification. These idiophones produce sound by being rubbed either against each other or by means of a non-sounding object. Instruments of this type are not very common; possibly the best known examples are the musical saw and the nail violin. According to musicologist Curt Sachs:Sachs, Curt (1940).

Nail Violin
} The nail violin is a musical instrument that consists of a semicircular wooden Sound board (music), soundboard, with Nail (engineering), nails of various lengths arranged to produce a chromatic scale when a Bow (music), bow is drawn across them. It was invented in 1740 by German violinist Johann Wilde. History Wilde was inspired to create the instrument when he accidentally drew his bow across a metal peg, which produced a musical sound. The instrument consists of a semicircular wooden Sound board (music), soundboard, about by in size, with iron or brass Nail (engineering), nails of different lengths arranged to produce a chromatic scale when bowed; the deeper the nails are driven in, the shorter the nail and the higher the pitch. The Bow (music), bow used was fitted with coarse black Haircloth, horsehair, which produced sound by friction. An improved instrument, now in the collection of the Hochschule in Berlin, has two half-moon sound-chests of different sizes, one on the ...
