in experience I'd say they just break when you try to put them in higher tunings, not sure about making the note higher. I bought a set of Yngwie Malmsteen signature strings the first time, stringed the guitar up , stretched the strings and so I clipped off the strings and the highest note the high E would go into was C.

Shortening the string just makes it impossible to reach higher tunings as far as I know, almost smashed a 300$ guitar I owned .. but when that happened it was a long day of fixing Guitars.

Tightening the string in a violin will make the pitch?

higher. By tightening the string, you increase the tension, causing the string to vibrate faster and produce a higher pitch sound.


If you change the length of the string will it make the frequency increase or decrease?

Changing the length of a string will affect its frequency. Shortening the string will increase the frequency, while lengthening the string will decrease the frequency. This is because shorter strings vibrate more quickly, producing higher pitches, whereas longer strings vibrate more slowly, resulting in lower pitches.


What material does sound travel through in a guitur?

In a guitar, sound travels through the air inside the body of the guitar, as well as through the materials the guitar is made of, such as wood. The vibrations of the strings are transferred to the guitar body, which amplifies and projects the sound.


How does a vibrating guitar string make a sound?

When a guitar string is plucked, it vibrates back and forth rapidly, creating sound waves in the surrounding air. The frequency of these vibrations determines the pitch of the sound produced. The vibrations are amplified by the body of the guitar, producing the sound that we hear.


Why a sitarist adjust the tension in the string of sitar?

The frequency of a string depends on its length, linear density, and tension. Most musical instruments are designed to make it easy to quickly change the tension; this will tune the instrument, or rather, the corresponding string.

What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?

The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.


How do you make a guitar note higher?

1. "Fingering" When playing a melody, the pitch of a string is primarily affected by pressing the string with the left hand on the fretboard, effectively shortening the vibrating length of the string. 2. Tuning: The base pitch of each string is adjusted with the tuning keys, which finely adjust the tension on the string. Typically, this is not done during performance. 3. A "capo" is a device which attaches to the neck, shortening all strings simultaneously, and thus raising the overall pitch of the guitar. 4. "Bending" In blues and rock music, the left hand is used to stretch the string sideways (that is, perpendicular to the axis of the string) resulting in a higher pitch, that can be precisely controlled during performance.


What are tuners for on a guitar?

you can tighten or loosen your strings, causing the string make higher or lower sound. (Check guitar tuning)


On a guitar will turning the tuning machine toward you lower the sound of the string or make it higher?

Lower.


What do frets on a guitar do?

They are the places where you put your fingers to make the string shorter, making the pitch higher.


What is the physics of a harp?

The harp player plucks a string and it vibrates at a certain frequency, depending on the length of the string. The shorter the string, the higher the pitch. The volume can be determined on how hard the string is plucked. The harp is made of wood because wood resonates well. A pedal can be attached in order to make each string higher by shortening it by a certain amount.


Why does increasing the tension on a guitar string increase the pitch when plucked?

yes because, as the string gets tighter it will be harder for the string to move


Why does moving your finger up an down a guitar string change the pitch?

the frets make the guitar string make a different sound.


How do you hammer on a string?

Yes, in guitar there is such thing as a hammer-on in which you press your finger hard on the guitar string to make noise without actually picking the string.

How does guitar make sound?

The guitar makes sound when you pluck a string. The string vibrates down to the base of the guitar and travels in the hole, coming out as a sound we call a note.
