Instruments that can play both high and low notes but are not percussion include the piano, which has a wide range spanning multiple octaves, and the violin, known for its ability to play high melodies as well as deeper tones. The Flute also fits this description, producing bright, high notes while being capable of lower pitches. Additionally, the Saxophone can navigate a broad range, allowing it to perform both high and low registers effectively.
The different types of music notes used for percussion instruments include whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and sometimes even thirty-second notes. These notes represent different durations of sound that percussionists play on instruments like drums, cymbals, and xylophones.
Percussion instruments that can play a scale include tuned instruments like the xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel. These instruments have pitched bars or tubes that can produce specific musical notes, allowing them to perform scales. Additionally, certain hand percussion instruments, like the steel drum, can also play scales depending on their tuning. However, most traditional percussion instruments, like drums, do not have fixed pitches and therefore cannot play scales.
Guitars, harps, all keyboard instruments and chromatic percussion instruments like xylophones, marimbas and vibraphones.
For the most part if they have keys like the piano or bells then yes. Timpani are also tuned to certain notes before they are played. Drums though, like snare and bass, do not play different pitches.
You can play percussion instruments with sticks, brushes, rods or play with your hands.
Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches or specific musical notes when struck, such as xylophones or marimbas. Unpitched percussion instruments, on the other hand, produce indefinite pitches or non-specific musical notes, like cymbals or snare drums. The key distinction lies in the ability of pitched percussion instruments to play melodies and harmonies, while unpitched percussion instruments are primarily used for rhythm and texture.
Mallets are used to strike percussion instruments like xylophones, marimbas, and drums to produce different notes and rhythms in music. The force and technique of the strike can affect the sound produced.
Tuned percussion instruments include xylophones, marimbas, vibraphones, and glockenspiels. These instruments produce specific pitches when struck, allowing them to play melodies and harmonies. Other examples include timpani, which can be tuned to different pitches, and tubular bells, which also have definite notes. Unlike untuned percussion instruments, such as drums and cymbals, tuned percussion allows for musical composition and arrangement.

Music.
The difference is that pitched instruments play notes, whereas non pitched instruments do not. Example, there are many non pitched percussion instruments, like snare drums, but drums such as timpani's actually play notes and can be adjusted, making them pitched. All woodwind brass and string instruments are considered pitched.
Both xylophones and timpani are percussion instruments. Both instruments can be found in the percussion section of any professional symphony. At standard percussion auditions, percussionists are required to play etudes on xylophone, timpani, and snare drum.
