It depends on the thickness of the string. But the longer the string, the lower the note

If you pluck a string which is a deeper sound short string or a long string?

if you play the guitar youll see. because all you are doing when you play the guitar is making the strings shorter. the frets stop the string from vibrating past a certain point (that point being the fret) when you make a string shorter it vibrates at a higher frequency thus making the sound higher in pitch. hope his helps - Kyse

Why does a tuba make a low pitch sound?

Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave. On a guitar or piano, the wave is established on a string, but in a wind instrument like a trumpet, flute or tuba, the wave is established in the column of air inside the horn. The longer the column of air, the slower the wave will be, and slower waves produce lower pitches. It's just like on a guitar, where the longer portion of a string that's allowed to vibrate, the slower the wave and lower the pitch will be. All that piping in a tuba encloses a very long column of air, so its pitch is low, while the short pipe of a flute produces a high pitch.

Why does a base guitar have longer strings than a regular guitar?

It gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.


What are the properties of tone and their examples?

1. Pitch- high or low 2. Duration- long, short 3. Timbre- unique sound of an instrument 4. Intensity


Is violin than viola?

Not really none are really easier than others, string instruments are harder to play than other families because they require a good ear which is useful for instance so you can tell if a note is the right pitch, to sharp, or to flat. you will find with any string instrument that the fattest string will be the hardest string to get a good sound from which is why there are different bows for each instrument. My violin teacher recently advised me to switch to viola because i have really big hands (and I'm proud of it, etc). So maybe if you have small hands (short fingers) you should play a smaller instrument and if you have large hands (long fingers) you should play a larger instrument.
