If a string on the banjo was made tighter and tighter the sound would be?

The tighter the string is, the higher the pitch is. You probably shouldn't experiment with that though, as strings break surprisingly easy.


If a string on a guitar was made tighter and tighter what would pitch of the sound be?

higher and higher until it broke.


Which factor would lower the pitch of a string?

The tension of the string. Less tension = lower pitch. This can be achieved by loosening the string or lengthening the string.


Which guitar string would have the lower pitch the guitar string is short and tight or guitar string is really long and loose?

depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch... A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch... "short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"


How is the higher note produced on a single string of a stringed instrument?

A higher pitch or note is produced by either shortening the string length by fingering (as in a guitar or violin), or by tightening the string, as in tuning a guitar. Higher pitches can also be played by lightly touching a string at its exact midpoint while plucking it, which suppress is fundamental pitch will allowing its harmonic to sound. This would produce a sound one octave higher.


What kind of pitch would a string vibrating quickly have?

a high pitch


Difference between tuning string instruments and tuning wind instruments?

The difference between tuning string instruments and wind instruments is that with string instruments, you must adjust the tension of the strings in order to tune/change the pitch. With wind instruments (most of the time), you have to pull a part of the instrument either in or out to change the pitch/tune (pulling it out would make the pitch lower, and pushing it in would make the pitch higher). For example, with a trombone, there is a tuning slide at the top that you can pull or push out. If you had a saxophone, you would have to pull out or push in on the mouthpiece. If you had a guitar (string instrument), however, there are tuning keys that you can turn to adjust the tension of the strings.


How are you supposed to tune your guitar?

You turn the knobs to change the pitch. I would reccomend buying a guitar tuner that will show if the string is sharp or flat.


How would you change the length of a string to create a higher pitch?

Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).


Is a pitch pipe tuner the same as a chromatic tuner?

No, a pitch pipe just plays the pitch and you match the string to it. For a chromatic, you play the string, and it tells you if its to high or to low. I would recommend a chromatic, especially if you are a beginner.


What would happen to the sound produced by a stretched string if you increased it's tautness?

The pitch would increase, getting higher.


What happens to a pitch if you shorten the string?

The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length. If you want to increase the frequency of a pendulum by a factor of 10, you make it 99% shorter.
