How is the pitch changed on music boxes?
The essential construction of a music box is a metal "comb" with teeth of graduated length. Each "tooth" sounds a different pitch (like a xylophone). The comb rests just above a metal drum with raised bumps on it. As the drum turns, each bump in sequence plucks a different tooth to make a melody.
Which drum head easiest to tune?
Start with either a high, or mid ranged tom. That way you have a better pitch reference on each lug. The snare drum is probably one of the most difficult to actually "tune". Just make it sound good.
Is drum a musical instrument with high sound?
Drums come in a verity of sizes and depths each can be tuned by adding tension to the drum head, the smaller the drum the smaller the surface area of the drum head this can have a lot of tension put in and will create a higher pitch. The Smaller tom-toms are normally called tenor tom-toms but bongos played by hand can be tuned high. The Snare drum can also have a high pitch as well but all in all it depends on how the individual drum is set up.

Can you use a korg chromatic tuner for tuning conga drums?
Not accurately. Korg tuners take a second to register and by then your sound is gone or has changed. It can't pick up individual lugs on the drum either - which is what you need to tune. It only picks up the overall sound of the drum. You are best to do this one by ear hitting the area around each lug trying to match the pitch with your desired sound.
Are there music scales on the drums?
Drum notation differs completely from normal musical notation. On for example a piano when you see a note on the stave it corresponds to a note on the piano, the same note. On a drum kit however each note on the stave represents a different drum. There is then also different symbols for other parts like the hi-hats. If you are talking about tuning then you can tune drums to any note, but i advise you to tune the drums to the notes of the song if you are playing along to one or just to what you like. Obviously the smaller the drum the higher higher the sound will be anyway.
What do you get when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere with each other?
