Percussion instruments change pitch by altering the tension of the drumhead or striking area, affecting the vibration frequency when played. Other percussion instruments, like xylophones or tambourines, produce different pitches by varying the size or material of the striking surface. Some instruments, like timpani or hand drums, can also be tuned to specific pitches by adjusting the tension of the drumheads.
Instruments like timpani, marimba, vibraphone, and steel drums are examples of percussion instruments that can be tuned to specific pitches. These instruments can produce musical notes with varying frequencies by adjusting the tension or size of the material being struck.
In the percussion family, the order of pitch from highest to lowest typically goes: tambourine, triangle, snare drum, cymbals, bass drum. This order may vary depending on the specific percussion instruments being used.
Percussion instruments can be categorized into two main groups: pitched percussion and unpitched percussion. Pitched percussion instruments produce definite pitches, such as xylophones and marimbas, while unpitched percussion instruments produce indefinite pitches, such as drums and cymbals.
Triangle group percussion refers to a set of percussion instruments typically used in orchestral or ensemble settings that includes instruments such as triangles, tambourines, cymbals, and other metallic percussion instruments. These instruments add a distinct shimmer and texture to the overall sound of the ensemble.
The piccolo is the highest sounding percussion instrument.
Depends on the percussion instrument. What kind?
The two types of percussion instruments are pitched percussion and unpitched percussio n; pictch percussion produces a note and an audiable pitch, whereas unpitched percussion merely produces a note.

Percussion instruments are instruments such as the drums. The guitar can be used for percussion although it is a string instrument. No, percussion instruments are not used for playing the melody.
They have to be hit to make sound.
Some percussion instruments may, and some may not. Usually if something like a drum has tuning equipment, it may be tuned to whatever pitch you desire.
Percussion instruments are instruments that can be tuned or not but tuned instruments are tuned.
They are classed as percussion instruments.
