Why You hear different sounds from different types of musical instruments?

Although the pitch (how high or low a sound is) will be the same, a particular note sounds different on different instruments because they produce sound waves with different patterns (shapes and sizes). Bigger instruments tend to make lower and louder notes than small ones.

How do the different musical instruments connect with each other to produce one sound?

All musical instruments create sound by causing matter to vibrate. The vibrations start sound waves moving through the air. Most musical instruments use resonance to amplify the sound waves and make the sounds louder. Resonance occurs when an object vibrates in response to sound waves of a certain frequency.

What are at least two different ways sound can be produced by a musical instrument?

They are bowing, plucking, and striking. Most common of the first category are the violin, viola, violoncello, and double bass of the orchestra, all of which use a horsehair bow for setting their strings into motion.

Why do the same notes on a trumpet and on a saxophone sound different when both are played with the same pitch and loudness?

Why do the same notes on a trumpet and on a saxophone sound different when both are played with the same pitch and loudness? Because in addition to the fundamental frequency each instrument produces a different set of harmonics or overtones at different intensities.

Why do different instruments have different notes?

The reason the same musical note sounds different when played on various instruments is because the harmonic overtones and envelope of each instrument is unique. When a frequency is played, other frequencies, called harmonics, are created. Each instrument has a unique harmonic character.

Is flute and piano notes the same?

Yes … the treble clef note in piano music are the same as flute notes. Flute is a NON-TRANSPOSING instrument so piano notes within the range of the flue instrument and player can be played.

Why do different instruments sound different from one another?

The same sheet of music played by a different instrument will sound radically different, even though the same notes are played. This is because each instrument has its own unique tone, or timbre. In this section, we will explore the elements that make up an instrument’s timbre.

What is the difference between sound and note in music?

Note is base frequency (in Hz or symbolic C, D, …, H/B with octave number) of sound of an instrument. Note is abstract. Sound is implementation note in real life. The sound produced by any instrument is a product of the interaction between the materials that the instrument is made of and the materials that you use to play the instrument.

What do the notes on a sheet of music show?

The notes on a sheet of music show a musician which frequencies to play and when. Why do the same notes played on different instruments sound so different? The reason the same musical note sounds different when played on various instruments is because the harmonic overtones and envelope of each instrument is unique.

How does instrument choice affect the sound of a song?

Choice of instrumentation is one of the main factors that contribute to the overall feeling of a song. Even though major and minor chords and scales can be played across most instruments, the instrument that is chosen to play the note plays a large part in what the musician wants to express.
