To which family of instruments does the Hi Hat belong?
"which divided all musical instruments into three classes: Percussion, String and Wind. Hornbostel–Sachs further develops this scheme, but abandons the ""percussion"" high-level grouping, replacing it by the groups ""idiophones"" and ""membranophones"". Hornbostel–Sachs classifies musical instruments by means of a numerically labelled inverted tree structure, originally with four groups at the highest level, two of which are percussion instruments (as the term ""percussion"" is normally understood), and the others strings and wind. The system does use the term ""percussion"" but at a much lower level in the tree and in an esoteric sense quite unlike its common usage, see below. Some"
"Hi-hat A hi-hat, also spelled hihat or high-hat, is a combination of two cymbals and a foot-operated pedal, all mounted on a metal stand. Hi-hats are a part of the standard drum kit used by drummers in many popular music (e.g. rock music) and traditional music (e.g. blues) styles. It consists of a matching pair of small to medium-sized cymbals mounted on a stand, with the two cymbals facing each other. The bottom cymbal is fixed and the top is mounted on a rod which moves the top cymbal towards the bottom one when a foot pedal is depressed (a"

Most are B basses, but they also commonly exist in E, F, and tenor sizes, as well as other types to a lesser extent. The sousaphone is a specialized version of the helicon. The first sousaphone, a non-production prototype made by J. W. Pepper & Son, Inc., had an upright bell, hence the nickname ""rain catcher"" because of its shape. Later production versions differ primarily in two ways: a bell shaped to face forward with a larger flare and a bell diameter of , and a ""goose-neck"""

In much hip-hop, the hi-hat is hit with drumsticks in a simple eighth-note pattern, although this playing is usually done by a drum machine or from an old recording from which the sound of a hi-hat is recorded and loaded into a sampler or similar recording-enabled equipment from which it is triggered.

"the X-hat (fixed, closed, or half-open hi-hats) and cable-controlled or remote hi-hats. Sabian introduced the Triple Hi-Hat, designed by Peter Kuppers. In this variation of the hi-hat, the top cymbal moves down and the bottom cymbal moves up simultaneously while the middle cymbal remains stationary. Drop-clutches are also used to lock and release hi-hats while both feet are in use playing double bass drums. Drop clutches are commercially available from DW Drums, Gibraltar Hardware and Tama. The standard hi-hat features two cymbals mounted on a stand consisting of a mating metal tube and rod supported by a tripod and linked"
"Basset horn The basset horn (sometimes written basset-horn) is a musical instrument, a member of the clarinet family. Like the clarinet, the instrument is a wind instrument with a single reed and a cylindrical bore. However, the basset horn is larger and has a bend near the mouthpiece rather than an entirely straight body (older instruments are typically curved or bent in the middle), and while the clarinet is typically a transposing instrument in B or A (meaning a written C sounds as a B or A), the basset horn is typically in F (less often in G). Finally, the"

In the Hornbostel–Sachs classification system, it is among the 422.211.2 subsection of reed aerophones. The instrument was invented by Nolan Hatcher and Craig Nutt of Alabama (members of the Raudelunas art collective, and the experimental jazz bands the Ron Pates Debonairs and the Blue Denim Deal) at least as early as 1979, when it was used on their duet album ""Dinosaur Time"".

"One of the most popular hand held hi-hat cymbal variations used was called the ""hand sock cymbals"". The reason for the name ""hi-hat"" was because earlier versions of the hi-hat were referred to as a ""low boy"". The evolution that became the ""hi-hats"" allowed drummers to play the two cymbals with drum sticks while simultaneously controlling how open or closed the two cymbals were with their foot. The pedal could also be used to play the cymbals with the foot alone, while the right hand played other drums. By the 1930s, Ben Duncan and others popularized streamlined trap kits leading"

It is a piston-valve brass instrument with a bore that is mostly conical, like the flugelhorn and alto (tenor) horn, but is narrower than the conical bore of the euphonium. It uses a wide-rimmed cup mouthpiece like that of its peers, the trombone and euphonium. Like the trombone and the euphonium, the baritone horn can be considered either a transposing or non-transposing instrument. In the UK, the baritone horn is frequently found in brass bands.

Huqin instruments usually have two tuning pegs, one peg for each string. The pegs are attached horizontally through holes drilled in the instrument's neck. Most huqin have the bow hair pass in between the strings. Exceptions to having"

The instrument's name comes from the Greek word ophis (ὄφις) ""serpent"" + kleis (κλείς) ""keys"", since it was conceived of as a serpent with keys. Like the serpent, some found it difficult to play, and early twentieth-century musicians felt it had a somewhat unpredictable sound.

Exposed double-reed instruments are played by having the double reed directly between the player's lips.

On the other hand, Capped double-reed instruments have the double reed covered by a cap. The player blows through a hole in this cap that then directs the air through the reeds.
