Question

The harp is a stringed musical instrument that has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard; the strings are plucked with the fingers to produce a sound. The strings can be made tighter or looser through the use of tuning pins (see the image below – for this question you can ignore the effects of the soundboard and pedals).

Describe in detail what determines the frequency of sound of each string when it is plucked and explain why the sound of a note played from a harp sting may sound different to the same note played on another stringed instrument.

Answer 1

The harp is a stringed musical instrument that has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard,

basic Harp is having column strings of different lengths, like decreasing lengths especially.

so because of these arrangement according to the different lengths the time period will be changes,

so change in the time period is based on the lengths,

simply ca says different notes will be played based on the lengths.

the frequency of sound of each string when it is plucked the different notes will be played.
