Is the pitch of a note a linear function of the length of the bar?

It's not clear what bar you're referring to. The "measure" in music is often colloquiallyreferred to as a "bar", but that clearly has nothing to do with the pitch of the notesin it.-- The only reasonable one I can think of is the bar of metal you tap with a hammer toproduce a tone. In that case, as long as the cross-section and the material compositionof the bar don't change, the pitch of the note you get out of it is inversely proportional to the length of the bar.-- How about the bars on a xylophone, marimba, kalimba, vibraphone, etc. The above comments apply.-- The pitch of the notes has no connection to the size of the drinking establishment in whichthey are played or sung.---------------The paper given by the attached link claims that a bar in a xylophone produces a collection of frequencies that are inversely proportional to the square of the length of the bar.


Relation of xylophone bars length to pitch?

The pitch of each bar is not only determined by the length, but also the thickness and density. The width does not matter. From what I found out, the longer, thinner, and denser the bar, the higher the pitch. The shorter, thicker, and less dense the bar, the lower the pitch.

The xylophone is a percussion instrument. The sound is produced by striking the metal bars with a mallet. The length of the bar directly corresponds with the sound that is produced when each bar vibrates after being struck.

Can you play your ribs like a xylophone?

No, you cannot. In order for a xylophone to work, or any such percussion instrument, metal bars vibrate when struck, and the vibrations resonate to create the sound. The length of the bar determines the pitch of the sound. Your ribs, however, are made of softer material (hydroxyapaptite bone with marrow in between), and are bound to tendons and ligaments, and other such soft tissue, which would prevent the vibrations from resonating properly. So, at best, striking a bone within the body would create a thud sound, rather than the ping of a xylophone.
