Resumo: The composers’ search for new sound possibilities and specific timbers boosted the research and development of new percussion instruments. This article seeks to outline and discuss the definition, historical and structural aspects, diffusion and repertoire composed for Sixxen. Conceived by Iannis Xenakis, this instrument has considerably expanded its repertoire through the work of composers such as Phillipe Manoury, Michelle Agnes, among others. With regard to the historical aspects, we present points that characterized the creation of the first set of Sixxen, developed by Xenakis and Les percussions de Strasbourg. We present a review of the Sixxen sets built by various groups around the World, in addition to four companies that have developed commercial prototypes. This paper will bring an extensive documentation on an important instrumental creation of the 20th century.

Delineamos e discutimos definições, aspectos históricos e características estruturais de construção do instrumento denominado Sixxen. Concebido por Iannis Xenakis, este instrumento vem ampliando consideravelmente seu repertório através da produção de compositores como Phillipe Manoury, Michelle Agnes, dentre outros. Relativamente aos aspectos históricos apresentamos pontos que caracterizaram o primeiro modelo desenvolvido juntamente entre Xenakis e o Les Percussions de Strasbourg. Expomos uma revisão dos tipos de Sixxen construídos por diversos grupos de distintos países, além de quatro empresas que já desenvolveram modelos para comercialização. Trazemos assim uma extensa documentação sobre a criação de um importante instrumento do séc.
