These are made of wood, and consist of a 'tongue' that is fixed in a block that contains one or more contact microphones. The tongue is bowed with a conventional stringed instrument bow while simultaneously pressing down on the the tongue with another piece of shaped wood called a 'dax,' thus achieving various tonalities or notes. The tongue can also be excited by plucking. The shape of the tongue, and the type of wood also influence the sound. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:46:16</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31485301</termId><termName>daxophone</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31355263</termId><termName>friction idiophones</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
