Does the strings of a violin vibrate up and down?

When the bow is rubbed against the strings, microscopic hairs on the hair of the bow create immense friction with the string. This causes the string to vibrate rapidly. The vibrating string, in turn, causes the violin to vibrate.


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"

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

How does differences in strings on a stringed instrument effect pitch?

The orginal strings used for violins were made out os sheep intestines. These strings came out of tune easily and were hard to play on. They were also expensive. Modern strings sound better. They viberate when you pluck them. This makes them sound louder and better. They also stay in tune better. But there really isnt a difference between the pitches of strings as long as they are for the SAME instrument.


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.


Why do you put rossin on a bow?

Putting rossin on a bow lets the hair grip the strings to make them vibrate, without any rossin the strings don't make any noticeable sound. When I first got my viola I tried it once, it kind of sounded like breathing, but rossin goes a long way and you don't have to rossin your bow much.
