What instrument makes the most soothing sound?
String instruments provide the most soothing sounds.
What type of instrument is piano?
Piano is a tough instrument to categorize. Some say "percussion" because you create sound by striking the instrument. Some say "string" because vibrating strings is how the sound is made. If I had to choose between them I'd choose "string instrument" because the reasoning for it being a percussion instrument, IMO, is not very sound. Yes you strike the instrument to make sound, but it's not you making the sound - it's the hammer striking the strings much like the dulcimer. Apply the "percussion" argument to other keyed instruments and you can see more clearly how it's a misnomer. Is the organ a percussion instrument because you're striking the keys? And then there's electronic keyboards - are they percussion instruments? See how we're getting really far out on a limb to rationalize calling piano a percussion instrument. This, and the other examples I gave, is why I like to use "keyboard instrument" as a classification all its own. It allows for an accurate description of how you make sound with the instrument, much like the definition of percussion (striking a membrane or solid object). I like to tell people that if they don't like the idea of "inventing" a new category, then call it a string instrument because that's what it is! :)
Which instrument plays high brassy notes but its sound can change by addding a mute?
The main brass instruments that use mutes are trumpets and trombones. Other brass instruments like the tuba are so big and the sound is so deep that they generally don't need to use mutes. French horns also use mutes, but they don't have the same variety since the majority of mutes are used only in Jazz music.

Did wolfgang Mozart play an instrument?

Which musical instrument sound most like a human voice?
double reed instruments, the oboe, cor anglais, or the bassoon, because the reed acts most like the vocal chords. air pushes/rushes past the two parts and they vibrate creating the sound. then your mouth creates the words, or in this case the keys create the different tones and notes. so out of all the instruments i'd say one of the double reed instruments because of the way they work and if they are played with excelent tone quality they even sound like someone is singing through them.
