==Schaeffner's classification==
[[File:Flexible or Plucked idiophones - Soinuenea.jpg|thumb|Plucked/flexible idiophones|263x263px]]Schaeffner's musical instrument classification scheme has a post-prominent place for the linguaphones (lamellophones) 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.&nbsp;176].
Schaeffner's system has only two top-level categories denoted by Roman numerals (Schaeffner, A.: ''Origine des instruments de musique'', pp.&nbsp;371–377.):
*I: instruments that make sound from vibrating solids;
**IA Solids not susceptibles of tension (equivalent to a big part of Hornbostel & Sachs [[idiophone]]s);
**IB Flexible solids (equivalent to mainly linguaphones);
**IC Tensionable solids (equivalent to both [[membranophone]]s and [[chordophone]]s);
*II: instruments that make sound from vibrating air ([[aerophone]]s).
