Linguaphone classification

Schaeffner's musical instrument classification scheme has a place for the linguaphones at the second highest level of classification.

In 1932, Andre Schaeffner developed a new classification scheme that was``exhaustive, potentially covering all real and conceivable instruments" [Kartomi, p.176] .Schaeffner's system has onlytwo top-level categories denoted by Roman numerals:
*I: instruments that make sound from vibrating solids;
**IA idiophones;
**IB linguaphones;
**IC chordophones;II: instruments that make sound from vibrating air.
