Instruments make sound by vibrating, which creates pressure waves in the air. Different instruments produce sound through various mechanisms: string instruments vibrate strings, wind instruments create sound by air passing through tubes or reeds, and percussion instruments generate sound when struck. The pitch and tone are influenced by factors like size, shape, and material, affecting how the vibrations resonate. Overall, the interaction of these elements determines the unique sound of each instrument.
