Explain why and how:-

•Tension affects the pitch in string instruments

Open in App
Solution

A string stretched between two points, such as on a stringed instrument, will have tension. Tension refers to how tightly the string is stretched. Tightening the string gives it a higher pitch while loosening it lowers the pitch. When string players tighten or loosen their strings, they are altering the pitches to make them in tune.
