Why does the pitch get higher if you tighten the string of the guitar?
It will be higher in PITCH but no difference in volume.
What kind of pitch would a string vibrating quickly have?
a high pitch
A vibrating string produces the highest pitch if its?
Correct answer= "tight and short"
How do you make a guitar note higher?
1. "Fingering" When playing a melody, the pitch of a string is primarily affected by pressing the string with the left hand on the fretboard, effectively shortening the vibrating length of the string. 2. Tuning: The base pitch of each string is adjusted with the tuning keys, which finely adjust the tension on the string. Typically, this is not done during performance. 3. A "capo" is a device which attaches to the neck, shortening all strings simultaneously, and thus raising the overall pitch of the guitar. 4. "Bending" In blues and rock music, the left hand is used to stretch the string sideways (that is, perpendicular to the axis of the string) resulting in a higher pitch, that can be precisely controlled during performance.
How does sound get a low pitch and a high pitch?
Pitch is determined by vibration frequency. A guitar string vibrating at 440 times a second will product a perfectly tuned "A" note. A string vibrating any faster than this will produce a higher pitch, and any slower will produce a lower pitch.
How you can change the length of vibrating string?
Moving your finger along the string will alter the length and the pitch of the sound produced.
How do you change pitch of a note?
You change the pitch by lengthening or shortening the vibrating string, or column of air that is producing the sound. Can be done by fingers against a string (stringed instruments), plucking or hammering shorter or longer strings (piano/harpsichord/harp) opening or covering holes (woodwinds) or changing the length of tubing (brass instruments).

What sound does the piano make in an orchestra?
A percussive sound when striking a string with a felt covered hammer ... the vibrating string resonates a particular pitch.
How is pitch determined?
the closer together the sound is the higher it is and vise verser
A pitch can be changed by changing?
The frequency at which the instrument's sound making parts are vibrating. A guitar string vibrating at 440 times a second will produce a perfectly tuned A note.
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.
