What does air column mean in musical terms?

Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."

The piano can belong to two different instrument families, this is due to the way the sound is produced.

Did the sound travel better through the string or through the air Why?

Sound travels better through a string because the particles in a solid are more closely packed and can transmit vibrations more efficiently than in air. In air, the particles are more spread out, leading to greater energy loss and lower transmission of sound.

How does sound travel through a musical instrument?

Sound waves are produced when an object vibrates. In a musical instrument, the vibration of the strings, air column, or membrane creates sound waves. These waves then travel through the medium of air or another material in the instrument, such as a solid or liquid, causing the surrounding molecules to vibrate and transmit the sound energy.
