Best Answer

An idiophone is any musical instrument which creates sound primarily by way of the instrument's vibrating, without the use of strings or membranes. Therefore, all tuned percussion instruments (primarily keyboard instruments like marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones, etc) are idiophones. Even woodblocks, maracas, and triangles are considered idiophones. Basically any percussion instrument that isn't a "drum" is an idiophone.
