A musical instrument that produces sound when wind passes over or vibrates its strings.
From Greek 'anemo-' (wind) + 'chord' (string). This instrument type has ancient roots but the specific term was formalized in the 19th century as musical instrument classification became more scientific.
Aeolian harps are real anemochords—they're placed in windows to sing when the breeze blows through them. Ancient Greeks named them after Aeolus, god of wind, and they inspired Romantic poets to write about nature's music.
