Solution

A musician recognizes the musical instrument by hearing the sound produced by it, even without seeing the instrument.
This is due to the property of sound called quality and pitch.
The quality of sound depends on the frequencies of sound present in it and its relative loudness.
Pitch is the highness or lowness of sound.
Due to the variation in the pitch and quality of the sound, a musician can recognize the sound of a musical instrument without seeing it.
