I watched a man play the piano the other day. It was one of
the most amazing things I’ve ever heard. The man pressed the keys in order to produce
a wonderful sound from the piano. With every stroke of the keys a different
note was struck, becoming lighter and deeper as he moves along the piano keys.
From the look of piano, I’d say the shape of it has a lot to do with the
quality of sound and pitch of the notes produced by the piano. I think from the
way the keys hit the stings it tells whether or not the pitch is high or low. I
think if I design an instrument to mimic the way the keys hit the stings I’ll
get the same tone and notes. I
know that sound travels in compressional
waves, this means that the vibrations of the strings are so fast that
its able to travel so far and be so loud.
