This is a list of instruments by Hornbostel-Sachs number, covering those instruments that are classified under 31 under that system. This category includes all instruments consisting of a simple string bearer and strings. An additional resonator may be present, but it is not integral, so removing it should not destroy the instrument - the resonator must not be supporting the strings.
- 3: Instruments in which sound is produced by one or more vibrating strings (chordophones, string instruments).
- 31: Instruments which consist solely of a string bearer or a string bearer with a resonator that is not integral to the instrument
- 311: Instruments with a string bearer shaped like a bar, or consisting of a sideways board (bar zithers)
- 311.1: Instruments with a flexible or curved string bearer
- 311.12: Instruments with string made from a different material than the string bearer
- 311.121: Instruments with only one heterochord string
- 311.121.2: Instrument has a resonator
- 311.121.22: Instrument has a resonator that is attached
- 311.121.221: Instrument does not have a tuning noose
- 311.121.222: Instrument does have a tuning noose
- 311.121.22: Instrument has a resonator that is attached
- 311.121.2: Instrument has a resonator
- 311.121: Instruments with only one heterochord string
- 311.12: Instruments with string made from a different material than the string bearer
- 311.2: Instrument has a rigid and inflexible string carrier (stick zither)
- 311.21: Instrument has a string carrier with one curved, flexible end (musical bow)
- 311.211: Instrument has one resonator gourd
- 311.22: Instrument has no curved or flexible end (true stick zither)
- 311.221: Instrument has one resonator gourd
- 311.21: Instrument has a string carrier with one curved, flexible end (musical bow)
- 311.1: Instruments with a flexible or curved string bearer
- 312: Instrument has a string bearer made of a vaulted surface (tube zithers)
- 313: Instrument has a string bearer made from canes tied together like a raft (raft zithers)
- 314: Instrument uses a string bearer that is shaped like a board, or is the ground (board zithers)
- 315: Instrument with strings stretched across the mouth of a trough (trough zithers)
- 316: Instrument uses strings stretched across an open frame (frame zither)
- 311: Instruments with a string bearer shaped like a bar, or consisting of a sideways board (bar zithers)
- 31: Instruments which consist solely of a string bearer or a string bearer with a resonator that is not integral to the instrument
This category includes musical bows, zithers and some keyboard instruments like the piano and harpsichord.
These instruments may be classified with a suffix, based on how the strings are caused to vibrate.
