Best Answer

Pianos have strings inside that can be tuned. But no piano player ever retunes a piano mid-performance. So in a strict sense of the word, as it applies to performance, a piano cannot change the pitch of a note. It is not a string instrument where a struck note can be "bent" up or have vibrato applied. Keyboards have a pitch wheel that can be used to artificially bend notes up or down, but not pianos. The volume of a note in piano playing is determined by how hard the key is struck, which dictates how hard the hammer strikes the strings inside.

Volume (loudness), pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.

Pitch is changed by pressing down on the strings in different locations, and volume is controlled by the pressure of the bow. When the string is made shorter, the pitch goes up.

What is difference between loundess and pitch?

I'll use a few common instruments for example. On a piano, pitch would be which key you hit. The keys on the right will create a higher pitch while the left keys will create a lower pitch. The volume merely depends on how hard the key is hit. It is possible to have loud or quiet notes of any pitch. On a guitar, the higher the fret the higher the note, while volume depends on the force of the strumming. For drums, the pitch would depend on the size of the drum; the larger the drum, the lower the pitch. Volume would depend on how hard the drum is hit.


Does an ambulance siren's pitch really change - what if the ambulance was stationary?

Modern electronic sirens change amplitude and pitch. Older sirens produced tones that changed in amplitude (volume) but were changed in pitch by their motion relative to the listener: increasing in frequency as they approached and decreasing in frequency when they moved away. This is called the Doppler Effect.
