How do string instruments strings vibrate?
String instruments vibrate by when you pluck the strings the noise from them is bounced around the hallow in side of the instrument you are playing.
What vibrates to make the sound when a guitar is played?
When you pick the string it vibrates. They are made of metal or nylon. on an electric guitar, the vibrations from the strings are picked up on the pick-ups (appropriately named right), which are the silver dots located beneath each string, and the amplitude and frequency picked up by these sensors are transmitted to the amp where the wave data is amplified by the amp (also appropriately named right) and may be modified to produce certain sounds additionally to the string's initial sound such as wah-wah effects and distortion.
What type of piano did Beethoven use in his concertos?
Modern pianos come in two basic design and several sizes: the grand piano and the upright piano. Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed going side ways, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This avoids the problems caused in an upright piano, but takes up a lot of room and needs high ceilings for the right kind of sound. & Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are smaller because the frame and strings are placed so that they go up and down, extending in either direction from the keyboard and hammers. Hope This Helps.
Why is the sound of a harp soft in comparison with the sound of a piano?
The piano is louder because it is much heavier, much larger, and in places built with much more tension. A harpsichord is lighter in construction and is built completely of wood. Some modern harpsichords may have some metal in their frames or in other parts of their construction. Harpsichord strings are 'plucked' by a 'plectrum' which originally consisted of quills. The plectrum is built in such a way that the quill will pluck the string on the way up, and slide over the string on the way down. You can't vary the volume of a given note by changing the attack on the key. Pianos must have metal frames because the wires are on average longer and require much more tension to be brought to pitch. For most of the range of a piano, which is considerably wider than that of standard harpsichords, there are 3 wires per note. As you go toward the lower registers there are 2 wires, and then 1 wound wire per note. Most importantly, piano wires are struck by a hammer. Varying the attack on a key will vary the initial volume of the note quite a bit. The action of the piano, called an 'escapement' action, is very special. You can imagine that if there were just a simple lever causing the hammer action, then the hammer would strike and then rest on the wires it just struck. The escapement action allows the hammer to move freely (independently of the motion of the rest of the action) right before striking the wires. Then the hammer recoils and is checked by another part of the action.
Where does the piano get its sound from?
The piano sound is produced by your fingers striking a key, this activates a hammer which in turn strikes strings/wires tuned to different pitches. The loudness/softness comes from the strength behind the finger striking the keys. The piano has three strings for each pitch (except for those in the bass) and it is the vibration which makes the sound. these can be altered by using the pedals - the left sostenuto sustains the lower pitches while allowing the higher notes to dampen/stop sounding. Una corda (middle pedal) shifts the hammers so only one string is struck - less sound vibrating, a little softer perhaps, but less resonance. The damper pedal (right) allows all strings to vibrate until released, blurring the sounds together.
If a piano frequency is 256 hz on the right what is the frequency on the other side?
The frequency of a piano note is the same on both sides. If a piano key is producing 256 Hz on the right side, it will also produce 256 Hz on the left side. The frequency is determined by the pitch of the note being played, which is consistent across both sides of the piano.
How do string instruments strings vibrate?
String instruments vibrate by when you pluck the strings the noise from them is bounced around the hallow in side of the instrument you are playing.
How would you describe frequency to someone learning about sound?
Lower frequency means lower "pitch". Higher frequency means higher "pitch".The left end of the piano keyboard, the thicker guitar strings, the tuba, the voice of a lion, distant thunder, are all low frequencies.The right end of the keyboard, the thinner guitar strings, the flute, the voice of a kitten or mouse, are all high frequencies. Frequency has nothing to do with how loud the sound is, only how high or low its pitch is.
What is the purpose of the piano right pedal and how does it affect the sound produced by the instrument?
The purpose of the piano right pedal is to sustain the sound of the notes played on the instrument. When the pedal is pressed, it allows the strings to vibrate freely, creating a richer and more resonant sound. This pedal is often used to create a sense of continuity and connection between notes, enhancing the overall musical expression of the piece being played.

What are the changes in the note when you plucked the stretched band?
Before plucking there should be no sound (no note); right after plucking it, there is.
What needs to happen for a human voice to break a wine glass?
you need to sing at the right frequency and sing loud enough to resist the vibrations. when the sound gets to loud for the glass to vibrate it shatters.
What is the name of the right pedal on a piano?
The name of the right pedal on a piano is the "damper pedal."
What effect does pressing the left hand pedal on the piano have?
The left hand pedal on a piano is the soft pedal, it softens the sound (makes it quieter) by pressing the dampers (pads that rest against the strings to stop the sound from ringing) harder against the strings. The right pedal which is called the damper pedal releases the dampers from the strings, causing the notes to be sustained. The middle pedal is called a "Sostenuto Pedal" and it removes the dampers from the only the notes that are played when the pedal is depressed, therefore sustaining some and not others.
