6. By tightening the string, the quality of sound can be changed. A short and tight string gives a high note.
7. Thus, the pitch of the note produced by any stringed instrument depends on the length, mass, and tension (or tightness) of the string.
8. Though the violin and guitar are both stringed instruments, there is a difference in the way each is played.
