| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Music of Nigeria - Folk music More than 400 ethnic groups are native to Nigeria, and many more have immigrated there in recent years; the largest ethnic groups are the Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba tribes. Traditional music from Nigeria and throughout Africa is almost always functional; that is, performed to mark a ritual such as a wedding or funeral, and not for pure entertainment or artistic enjoyment [6]. Although some Nigerians, especially children and the elderly, play instruments for their own amusement, solo performance is ot ...

| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Spoon - A musical instrument Spoons can be played as a makeshift percussion instrument, or more specifically, an idiophone related to the castanets. A pair of spoons is held like Chopsticks, with concave sides facing out. When the pair is struck, the spoons sharply hit each other and then spring back to their original position. The spoons are typically struck against the knee and the palm of the hand. The fingers and other body parts may also be used as striking surfaces to produce different sounds and for visual effect. Music expert Mike Kieth hypothesizes that "Spoons were probably used as instrumen ...

| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Bell instrument - Belltowers Bells are also associated with clocks, indicating the hour by ringing. Indeed, the word clock comes from the Latin word cloca, meaning bell.

| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Bell instrument - Church and temple bells In the Western world, its most classical form is a church bell or town bell, which is hung within a tower and sounded by having the entire bell swung by ropes, whereupon an internal hinged tongue strikes the body of the bell (called a free-swinging bell).
In the Eastern world, the traditional forms of bells are temple and palace bells, small ones being rung by a sharp rap with a stick, and very large ones rung by a blow from the outside by a large swinging beam. This last technique is employed world-wide for some of the largest tower-borne bell ...

| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Bell instrument - Uses for bells Bells have been used to announce the time or to call to prayers, to sound alarms, to celebrate weddings, holidays or victories.

| | | | idiophone: Encyclopedia II - Spoon - History In the Middle Ages in Europe, spoons served all the purposes in eating now served by forks or spoons; after the introduction of the fork, the spoon diminished in use. Spoons are nowadays used primarily for eating liquid or semi-liquid foods, such as soup, stew, or ice cream, and very small or powdery solid items which cannot be easily lifted with a fork, such as sugar and green peas. Spoons are still more used widely in cooking and serving, however.
Teaspoons are commonly employed by heroin addicts to "cook" the drug in by use of holding a flame underneath. The resulting liquidified heroin is then trans ...
