The reason that they create longer notes is because it vibrates faster, but not as big vibrations, which causes the pitch to be higher, and also can vibrate longer.

How is the sound of a harp produced?

Does a large tuning fork make a higher note than a small tuning fork?

A large tuning fork makes a lower note and a smaller one makes a higher note. This is true with all instruments. Think about it: a string bass has much longer strings than a violin, and the bass is lower than the violin. In a piano or harp, the long strings produce the low notes and the short strings produce the high notes. Same with the length of pipes on a pipe organ. A low bassoon has a much longer length than a high little piccolo. Same with the brass instruments, a sousaphone or tuba has a much longer tube than a higher pitched trumpet.


How is the length of a tube of a brass instrument relate to the pitch?

Any given length of tubing will produce a specific set of notes on what is called the "overtone series." By making the length longer or shorter, it changes the group of available notes.

Why are there many strings for a guitar?

usually a neck on a bass is longer so that you can play lower notes betterIt 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.

Is there a tool or machine that when you press it onto the strings of an electric guitar it holds the note longer?

two things without getting into pedals come to mind to hold notes longer the E-bow , it's around 50$ on craigslist the Fernandez "sustainer" pickup , but the pickup is under the strings heavier metals that the guitars parts are made out of and certain woods will make the notes ring out longer , as well as having the pickups lower to the neck. Neckthrough guitars have better sustain (note longevity) than any les paul or fender out there...bolted on - fender or glued on -les paul are still excellent but neckthrough is the best. thicker strings hold notes longer too
