Question

Name the three types of musical instruments. How is sound produced in each type?

Answer 1

The three types of musical instruments are:

1. Stringed instruments: They produce sounds using vibrations generated in stretched metal wires fixed across both ends of the instrument. For example: guitar.
2. Wind instruments: They produce sounds using vibrations in an air column trapped in a hollow structure. For example: flute.
3. Stretched membrane instruments: They produce sounds using vibrations in a stretched membrane. For example: drum.
