===Plucked idiophones (12)===
{{See|List of lamellophones}}

Plucked idiophones, or [[lamellaphone]]s, are idiophones set in vibration by being plucked; examples include the [[jaw harp]] or [[mbira]]. This group is sub-divided in the following two categories:

====In the form of a frame (121)====
The lamellae vibrate within a frame or hoop.
* 121.1 Clack idiophones or [[Cricri]] – The lamella is carved in the surface of a fruit shell, which serves as resonator.
* 121.2 Guimbardes and [[Jaw harp]]s (i. e. "kissed" idiophones) – The lamella is mounted in a rod- or plaque-shaped frame and depends on the player's mouth cavity for resonance.
** 121.21 Idioglot guimbardes – The lamella is cut through the frame of the instrument ([[kubing]]).
***121.211 Individual idioglot guimbardes.
*** 121.212 Sets of idioglot guimbardes
** 121.22 Heteroglot guimbardes – The lamella is attached to the frame (Western Jew's harp, [[kouxian]]). Present-day ethnomusicologists, such as [[Margaret J. Kartomi|Margaret Kartomi]] (page 173) and Ellingson (PhD dissertation, 1979, p.&nbsp;544), might support the suggestion that, in keeping with the spirit of the original Hornbostel–Sachs classification scheme, of categorization by what first produces the initial sound in the instrument, that the supposed class 412.13 should count as these instead.
*** 121.221 Individual heteroglot guimbardes.
*** 121.222 Sets of heteroglot guimbardes
**121.23 Mixed sets of guimbardes

====In the form of a comb (122)====
The lamellae are tied to a board or cut out from a board like the teeth of a comb.
* 122.1 With laced on lamellae.
** 122.11 Without resonator.
** 122.12 With resonator.
* 122.2 With cut-out lamellae – [[Musical box]]
**122.21 Without resonator.
** 122.22 With resonator.
*122.3 Mixed sets of combs
