  3. Monochord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochord

    A string, tied at A, is kept in tension by W, a suspended weight, and two bridges, B and the movable bridge C, while D is a freely moving wheel, [1] density may be tested by using different strings A monochord , also known as sonometer [ citation needed ] (see below ), is an ancient musical and scientific laboratory instrument , involving one ...

  4. Pythagorean hammers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_hammers

    The legend is, at least with respect to the hammers, demonstrably false. It is probably a Middle Eastern folk tale. [2] These proportions are indeed relevant to string length (e.g. that of a monochord) — using these founding intervals, it is possible to construct the chromatic scale and the basic seven-tone diatonic scale used in modern music, and Pythagoras might well have been influential ...

  7. Mersenne's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne's_laws

    The equation was first proposed by French mathematician and music theorist Marin Mersenne in his 1636 work Harmonie universelle. [2] Mersenne's laws govern the construction and operation of string instruments, such as pianos and harps, which must accommodate the total tension force required to keep the strings at the proper pitch.

  8. String vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_vibration

    Vibration, standing waves in a string. The fundamental and the first 5 overtones in the harmonic series. A vibration in a string is a wave. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency, i.e. constant pitch. If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone.

  9. Tremolo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremolo

    On plucked strings such as on a harp, the word bisbigliando (Italian pronunciation: [bizbiʎˈʎando]) or "whispering" is used. Tremolo picking, on traditionally plucked string instruments including guitar and mandolin, is the rapid articulation of single notes or a group of notes with a plectrum (pick) or with fingers. Tremolo playing sustains ...
