Plexor (Plexor)

Plexor is a word that can have multiple meanings depending on the context. In medicine, a plexor is used to describe a percussion hammer, which is a medical instrument used to perform percussion (tapping) in the chest and abdominal area. In music, a plexor refers to a musical instrument, which is also known as a plexiton.

A percussion hammer is a medical instrument used to diagnose and treat diseases related to the lungs and respiratory tract. It consists of a handle and a hammer, which are connected to each other by a flexible cord. When performing percussion, a hammer hits the patient's chest or abdomen, which makes it possible to determine the presence of pathological changes in tissues.

A plexiton is a musical instrument that is a metal plate that is driven by a pedal. This instrument is used in jazz and blues to create rhythmic sounds. A plexiton has two metal plates that can be tuned to different keys.

Thus, the plexor can be used in medicine to perform percussion and diagnose diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract, as well as in music to create rhythmic and melodic sounds.

Plexors are percussion musical instruments that appeared in the European classical repertoire back in the 19th century. In those days, orchestras were much larger, and flutes, clarinets and tubas required amplified sound. The advent of ready-made plexors helped musicians to perform their parts evenly loudly in an orchestra. The instrument is very similar to a guitar stick plectrum or a drum stick and is used on various percussion instruments (timpani, marching cymbals, etc.). In French, the word "plexor" means "hammer percussion". This type of percussion is used in different variations and genres: lounge, jazz, rock and roll, blues, rhythm and blues and fusion. Plectors are a very convenient option for hitting cymbals and switching them from a pause position to sound, and then stop (in the case of a drum fret).
