  2. Drum tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_tuning

    Drum tuning is the process of adjusting the frequency or pitch of a drum. Although most drums are unpitched instruments, they still have a fundamental pitch and overtones . Drums require tuning for a variety of reasons: to sound good together as a kit, to sound pleasing as an individual drum, to achieve the desired amount of ringing and ...

  3. Sub-bass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-bass

    The double bass is the sub-bass instrument of the orchestral strings family, as it produces the pitches in the lowest register for this family. Sub-bass sounds are the deep, low-register pitches below approximately 70 Hz [ 1 ] (C ♯ 2 in scientific pitch notation ) and extending downward to include the lowest frequency humans can hear ...

  4. Drum charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_charts

    Drum charts include their own musical vocabulary. The music written for drummers is not the same as, say, a pianist. Drummers use their own symbols and language in their charts. For example, a "middle C" note written on a staff for pianists is equivalent to the "snare drum" for drummers. Or, the note "F" on the piano staff is equal to the "bass ...

  5. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    In acoustics, a beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. With tuning instruments that can produce sustained tones, beats can be readily recognized.

    The pitches of open strings on a violin. Play ⓘ. In music, the term open string refers to the fundamental note of the unstopped, full string.. The strings of a guitar are normally tuned to fourths (excepting the G and B strings in standard tuning, which are tuned to a third), as are the strings of the bass guitar and double bass.

Bass (/ b eɪ s / BAYSS) (also called bottom end) [2] describes tones of low (also called "deep") frequency, pitch and range from 16 to 250 Hz (C 0 to middle C 4) [3] and bass instruments that produce tones in the low-pitched range C 2-C 4.

  9. Inharmonicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inharmonicity

    In an ideal flexible string, the wave speed is constant as a function of frequency. Looking at the resonant frequency of a string with two fixed ends, this means that the frequency of the harmonics increases linearly with the mode number. The added dispersion due to the stiffness, which is most prevalent in the thick bass strings, means that as ...
