What is a stringed instrument operated by air current?

A stringed instrument operated by air current is known as a "musical saw" or, more commonly, the "theremin." The musical saw produces sound through the vibration of a flexible saw blade, while the theremin generates sound through the interaction of the player's hands with electromagnetic fields. Both instruments create unique sounds that are influenced by air movement and the player's gestures, making them distinct in the world of stringed instruments.

What is the piano pedal stool for?

A piano peal stool, or pedal extender, is a platform that essentially raises up the pedals so that those who can't reach them can now do so. It is basically a platform with usually 2 pedals on it that gets placed over the real piaono pedals. When the piano player steps on the pedals that are on the platform, the real piano pedals are engaged by the platform pedals. To see how they work, visit the related link below.


What are pedals used for on harps?

A harp is a stringed instrument which has its strings anchored in the soundboard. Each string is tuned to a different note of the scale, somewhat like a piano. Unlike the piano, however, most harps have only seven strings in each octave. That would limit the harp to only one key (without retuning), if it did not have a mechanism to independently change the length of the strings. Pedal harps have metal pins mounted on rotating disks, which grab the string at the right points to shorten the vibrating length of each string, raising the pitch by one or two semitones. The disks are rotated by a system of rods connected to the pedals in the base of the harp, so that the player can change key or play accidentals (sharps and flats) on the fly.


Is it ok for kids to share a woodwind instrument?

If the kid plays a woodwind instrument that requires a mouthpiece, then the player tends to spit while playing, so the kids could pass their spit to the next person. You could use your own mouth piece and the same instrument. Or if the kid is sick, then he/she could pass their germs to the other person.
