Difference between string and percussion instruments
Answers
Answer:
string instruments work on string.like guitar
percussion works on sound may by object. like tapping at the table or beatbox
Answer:
A string instrument has typically strings and we have to strum, pluck or bow to produce vibrations. Eg-guitar, violin etc.. The percussion family is defined as one part of the instrument being hit together, or with a mallet or stick to create sound. Eg-xylophone piano, cymbals etc..
Explanation:
A string instrument causes sound by creating stationary waves in one or several strings, either by friction (violin) or by percussion (piano). The length of the vibrating part of the string will determine the pitch (frequency, musical note), and that length may be determined by the player’s finger pressing the string at a certain point (violin), or there may be different strings with different lengths each (piano).
A column wind instrument causes sound by vibrating something, generally at the mouthpiece or close (single or double reeds in woods, the mouth itself in metals, or the air in the flute). Then that vibration creates stationary waves in the wind column which will have a controllable pitch that depends on the height of the column. That height may be modified by opening/closing holes (like clarinet/saxo/flute), by pistons (trumpet) or by variable shape tubes (trombone). By the way, the shape of the wind column will mostly determine the “timbre” (sound type) of the instrument: a cylindrical tube like in the clarinet enables only the uneven harmonics, causing a mostly-square wave and its characteristic sound, while the conical tube shape of a saxo enables a much more complex combination of harmonics that gives it a sound that many people feel resembles the richness of human voice
