Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Percussion instruments can be classified according to whether they can produce sounds of a certain or indeterminate pitch (tuned or not).

Most percussion instruments. These are characterized by the absence of scale, ie they produce only a single sound or a very small range of sounds. They are used precisely for the timbre and sound characteristics they present and generally have purely rhythmic function.
