  2. Piano acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_acoustics

    The strings of a piano vary in diameter, and therefore in mass per length, with lower strings thicker than upper. A typical range is from .240 inches (6.1 mm) for the lowest bass strings [1] to .031 inches (0.79 mm), string size 13, for the highest treble strings. These differences in string thickness follow from well-understood acoustic ...

  3. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    A jump from the lowest semitone to the highest semitone in one octave doubles the frequency (for example, the fifth A is 440 Hz and the sixth A is 880 Hz). The frequency of a pitch is derived by multiplying (ascending) or dividing (descending) the frequency of the previous pitch by the twelfth root of two (approximately 1.059463).

  4. Seven-string guitar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-string_guitar

    The seven-string works well in a band setting, as its lowest note, B1 lines up well with the B0 commonly used for the lowest note of a 5+ string bass. Both the guitar and bass could drop tune as well using a lowest note of A1 and A0 respectively (with the bass this extends the range to the lowest note on a standard piano). The guitar is main ...

  5. Range (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(music)

    The terms sounding range, written range, designated range, duration range and dynamic range have specific meanings. The sounding range [ 3 ] refers to the pitches produced by an instrument, while the written range [ 3 ] refers to the compass (span) of notes written in the sheet music, where the part is sometimes transposed for convenience.

  6. Guitar tunings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

    String gauge refers to the thickness and diameter of a guitar string, which influences the overall sound and pitch of the guitar depending on the guitar string used. [17] Some alternative tunings are difficult or even impossible to achieve with conventional guitars due to the sets of guitar strings, which have gauges optimized for standard tuning.

  7. Scale length (string instruments) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_length_(string...

    String instruments produce sound through the vibration of their strings. The range of tones these strings can produce is determined by three primary factors: the linear density of the string, that is its mass per unit length (which is determined by its thickness and the density of the material), the tension placed upon it, and the instrument's ...

  8. Stretched tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_tuning

    Strings for low and mid-range tones, however, typically consist of a core that is wound with another, thinner piece of wire. This makes them naturally resistant to being bent, adding to the effect of string tension in returning a given part of the string toward its resting position; the result is a comparatively higher frequency of vibration of ...

  9. String instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_instrument

    The other is to provide a way to stop the strings along their length to shorten the part that vibrates, which is the method used in guitar and violin family instruments to produce different notes from the same string. The piano and harp represent the first method, where each note on the instrument has its own string or course of multiple ...
