Which is a higher pitched the piccolo or the flute?

over all the piccolo is one octave higher then the flute. Which means that the piccolo is higher but sometimes in band pieces the piccolo part is one octave down then the flute part so the piccolo will be playing in the same octave but most of the time the piccolo part will be one octave up from the flute for as example if a person plays a low b flat on the flute and an other person played the low b flat on the piccolo there will be an octave difference I hope this makes sense to you.


Who plays a twelve string guitar?

Between none and 12 depending on how many are missing! And that's not as daft as it sounds. An unusual but not unheard-of technique is to remove the octave (usually e, a and d, sometimes also g) strings from a 12-string, leaving only the unison strings and resulting in a 9-string or 8-string guitar. This retains the chorused sound of the higher strings but removes the octave doubling of the lower strings. Another technique is known as "Nashville tuning". This can also be done on a six-string but there is no reason why it shouldn't be applied to a 12-string. It consists of using ONLY the octave and unison strings from a 12-string set, giving a 6-string with a re-entrant tuning which can be used to double a conventional rhythm part, or to produce a less bass-heavy chordal part.

Higher the frequency, higher the pitch. Doubling a frequency raises pitch by one (musical) octave. Many people can hear sounds at frequencies between 20 Hz and 16kHz.

How do you use a guitar tuner for a bass?

If your guitar tuner won't pick up the sounds of the open bass strings, try playing the 12th fret harmonic on each string instead. In other words, gently touch each string at the 12th fret while you pluck the string. It will make the sound one octave higher and your tuner should be able to pick it up and allow you to tune your bass. Most newer tuners work fine with bass guitar, but back when I started playing 25 years ago, they only made guitar tuners and that's what I had to do.

What key is used for the flute?

The answer depends on the type of flute you're using! A standard flute is pitched in the key of C, and the same goes for the piccolo (pitched in C, but sounds an octave higher) and the bass flute (in the key of C but sounds an octave lower). The soprano flute is pitched in the key of Eb. The alto and treble flute are both in the key of G. The tenor flute is in the key of Bb.
