Why does a vibrating guitar string sound louder when it is on the instrumen tthan it does when it is stretched ona workbench?
When it is on the guitar, the vibrating string makes the guitar vibrate with it.
Which part of the guitar vibrates?
Well the strings do the vibrating. But those vibrations are transferred through the saddle and bridge (the parts that connect the strings to the body) into the body wood which creates the acoustics and amplify the sound. It is then expelled through the sound hole in the front.If you're using an electric guitar the pickups directly under each string will pickup the sounds and transform that into an electrical signal that sounds like a guitar or whatever effect you're using.All of it, but principally the strings and the box (which responds in resonance with the vibrations of the strings).
Does sound travel better through tight string or loose string?

What happens to the sound when the string is not pulled tight in an experiment of two cups and a string?
Nothing, as it won't go anywhere. Only a taut string can transfer vibrations
What sound does a guitar produced loud or soft?
soft
How does a guitar string's physical change produce sound?
The sound is produced by the vibration of the string.
What are tuners for on a guitar?
you can tighten or loosen your strings, causing the string make higher or lower sound. (Check guitar tuning)
Which part of guitar vibrates to produce sound?
The strings.
How does the electric bass guitar produce its sound and how it works?
When you pluck a string on an electric guitar that is plugged in to an amplifier, the pick-ups underneath the strings "hear" the sound, and send it through to the amplifier, projecting the sound of the string plucked.
How does guitar make sound?
The guitar makes sound when you pluck a string. The string vibrates down to the base of the guitar and travels in the hole, coming out as a sound we call a note.
What form of energy ia observed when strumming a guitar?
The guitarist will be turning chemical energy from food eaten into mechanical energy - the movement of his arm, the impact on the string. The string will begin to vibrate, another form of mechanical energy. The vibrating string will cause the air to vibrate too, causing the sound that we hear from the guitar which is another example of mechanical energy.
Why does a guitar string produce a louder sound if it is plucked harder?
the larger the amplitude at which something vibrates = the louder the sound. so by plucking a string harder, you're increasing the amplitude of the sound waves and thus increasing the sound volume
How does pitch change when you tighten the instrument?
From what I understand the space and other qualities cause the pitch. So depending on how much space the instrument is set at changes the pitch. Let's say you loosen a guitar string the pitch is flatter because the string has more space to make the sound waves. If you tighten the same string it will be sharper because the string has less space to make the sound wave.
In a stringed musical instrument the sound frequency of a string can be increased by?
Tighten the string
Is it the string or the hole that makes a guitar sound?
The string makes the sound by transferring it's vibration to the top of the guitar. The top vibrates, and that is amplified by the body of the guitar. The round hole is to let that sound escape.
How is sound created on the guitar?
When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates. The vibration of the string causes pressure waves in the air. The pressure waves are called "sound".
What is the middle of a guitar called?
Guitar has three main parts: guitar body, neck, and a head. Guitar head has tuning pegs which are used to tighten the strings. Guitar neck has frets which are used to shorten the string and produce different pitches. Guitar body is where the sound is produced. Guitar body has three main parts: the top (soundboard), back, and sides. The top has additional different parts: sound hole (a cutout in the body through which the sound comes out), rosette (does not have any sound-producing purpose, but ornaments the sound hole), bridge (holds the strings on the lower side), and saddle (transfers the vibrations from the strings to the soundboard).
