Question

Make a list of five musical instrumens state how each of them produce sound

Answer 1

1. Harp

Then, in turn, the soundboard causes the air within the volume enclosed by the sound box to vibrate, thereby acoustically amplifying the sound produced by the vibrating strings. Theharp has a set of strings of varying length, tension, and density. My large pedal harp has 47 strings.

2. Flute

The flute is made in the form of an open cylindrical air column about 66 cm long. Its fundamental pitch is middle C (C4) and it has a range of about three octaves to C7. Sound isproduced from a flute by blowing onto a sharp edge, causing air enclosed in a tube to vibrate.

3. Mandoline

The pair of strings is plucked with a small plectrum, or pick, now usually made of plastic. Mandolins produce a short, sweet sound, higher in pitch than a guitar. ... The mandolinoriginally developed from the lute, the instrument that is also the ancestor to the modern guitar.

4. Trumpet

Valves were added in 1820 and the length of the trumpet was shortened to about 4 ½ feet. Sound on a brass instrument comes from a vibrating column of air inside the instrument. The player makes this column of air vibrate by buzzing the lips while blowing air through a cup or funnel shaped mouthpiece.

5. Piano

When you press a key on the piano it causes a small hammer inside thepiano to hit a string or strings. Each key is connected to its own hammer or hammers which hit a specific string or number of strings. When the hammer hits a string, it vibrates and makes asound that is tuned to a specific note.
