What are the two types of musical instruments?

There are two main categories of musical instruments: aerophones and membranophones.

Aerophones produce sound by vibrating air. They include instruments such as the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and tuba.

Membranophones produce sound by vibrating a stretched membrane. They include instruments such as the drum, tambourine, and gong.
