The Mixtec Created Rasps From Bone, Employing A Human Bone As A Resonator. Not Like Rasps, Friction Idiophones Encompass A Solid Or Hollow Body With A Sleek Surface Rubbed With A Stick Or Different Implement. The Aztec Áyotl Was A Turtle Shell Rubbed On Its Ventral Facet With A Stick. Plucked Idiophones Encompass A Versatile Tongue Or Lamella That's Fastened To A Frame And Plucked With The Finger Or Thumb; Whereas These Don't Seem To Be Widespread Among Yankee Indians, One Example Is That The Jew’s Harp, That The Mapuche Play.
