Guitar strings sound diffrent simply because of the diffrent manufacturers manufacturing different guitar strings. An experienced guitar player knows the manufacturers ID (which is usually written on the guitar string package) and only buys guitar strings from that specific manufacturer. Of course there are other factors explaining how diffrent guitar string manufactuers make their guitar strings, but that starts getting to complicated.

What are the different guitar pitches and how are they produced?

Guitar pitches are produced by varying the tension of the strings and the length of the vibrating portion of the string. The main pitches on a guitar are E, A, D, G, B, and E, which are produced by tuning the strings to specific frequencies. By pressing down on the strings at different points along the fretboard, players can change the length of the vibrating portion of the string and produce different pitches.


How would you change the length of a string to create a higher pitch?

Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).


Long and thick strings vibrate low and make a high pitch?

Actually, in general, longer and thicker strings vibrate at lower frequencies, resulting in lower pitches. Smaller and thinner strings vibrate at higher frequencies, producing higher pitches.


What type of sound is made by the piano?

The piano makes sounds by little hammers inside of it drumming on the different pitched strings. these strings have different pitches because each of the strings has a different tension put on it. Therefore, the sound it makes is the sound of metal strings being hammered by little wooden mallets. - by Popeker

What are the different notes produced by guitar strings?

Guitar strings produce different notes based on their thickness and tension. When plucked or strummed, the strings vibrate at specific frequencies to create different pitches, ranging from low to high. The standard tuning for a guitar is EADGBE, with each string corresponding to a specific note.


Do shorter strings make a high pitch?

Yes, shorter strings produce higher pitches. This is because the frequency of vibration increases as the length of the string decreases. In musical instruments, such as guitars or violins, shorter strings are able to vibrate more quickly, resulting in higher sound frequencies. Conversely, longer strings create lower pitches due to their slower vibration rates.


Is a guiter high pitch or a low pitch?

A guitar can produce both high and low pitches, depending on the location of the fret or strings being played. The thicker strings typically produce lower pitches, while the thinner strings produce higher pitches. By changing the fret and string combinations, guitar players can achieve a wide range of pitches.

What is the effect of tension on the pitch of a violin string?

Violin strings are held on a violin with tuning pegs. The pegs are then turned until the strings reach the correction tension. The correct tension is when the strings are in tune. Adding more tension to a string by turning the pegs will increase the pitch and turning the pegs in the opposite direction will lower the pitch. The strings on a violin are tuned to the notes G D A E from lowest to highest.
