Attack is the way that a note is started, varying by the method of tonguing (wind instruments), bowing (string instruments), striking (percussion instruments). Decay is the way a note fades away after it is played. Wind and string instruments have a quick decay, but certain percussion instruments such as the cymbals and vibraphone have an extremely long decay.
