what it comes down to because of the bridge keeping the strings in place without slipping and the machine heads for the tuners keeping the Guitars tuning when we hit the strings they create music because when they're hit they vibrate back and forth at speeds that go throughout the neck and body to create sound
the faster the strings move the higher pitched the notes are , and vice versa the slower the lower the note which is why playing near the body (24th fret) compared to far away from the body of the guitar (1st fret) we get different sounding notes.

What must you do to the strings on an instrument to make a louder sound?
Amplifying, or amplification would be common descriptors for the process of making sound louder.In musical instruments, sounding boards are one common practice. These vibrate a larger surface. This applies to piano and violas. A horn or trumpet is a device for matching the impedance of the source to that of free air, and this device is used in the brass instruments(including the digeridoo!) and some wood wind instruments. A car horn and a speaking trumpet are other examples.These simple systems may give in excess of 20dB amplification. (100 times).
How does the larynx make sound?
When air from the lungs is passed over the vocal cords inside the larynx, they vibrate. This makes a sound. The vocal cords are tightened or relaxed to change their length. This changes the speed of vibration which alters the pitch. If only the larynx is involved, the sound comes out as a dull 'aaah' in varying pitch. No recognisable words can be formed without the use of the lips, teeth, tongue and palate. This is why people with serious facial injuries or with many teeth missing often have trouble speaking or being understood.
What vibrates to produce your voice?
your vocal cords vibrate to make you voice
Why the sonometer does consist of a hollow wooden box?

Do the frets on a guitar make the sound?
The frets don't nessicarily make the noise, but the tension on the frets as you get higher on the fretboard is what makes the noise. It's the strings that make the sound. They vibrate when you pluck them producing a sound. The sound is amplified in the body of the guitar(acoustic guitar). The frets enable you to vary the length of the strings thus making them produce a different sound.
Why is a does a thick string on a guitar make a lower pitched sound?
Thicker strings vibrate slower than the thinner strings. of course it changes when you press down on fret.
Is the electric guitar an idiophone?
It can be considered as an idiophone because you strike the strings inside it to make the strings vibrate and produce sound. Because it contains strings it is mainly classified as a chordophone.
How does a violin give a sound?
The bow makes the strings vibrate, causing the string to make sound.
Instrument that uses magnets to make sound waves?
An electric guitar uses magnets to create sound waves. The strings of the guitar vibrate over a magnetic pickup, which converts these vibrations into electric signals. These signals are then amplified and produce sound through speakers.
What vibrates to make the sound when a guitar is played?
When you pick the string it vibrates. They are made of metal or nylon. on an electric guitar, the vibrations from the strings are picked up on the pick-ups (appropriately named right), which are the silver dots located beneath each string, and the amplitude and frequency picked up by these sensors are transmitted to the amp where the wave data is amplified by the amp (also appropriately named right) and may be modified to produce certain sounds additionally to the string's initial sound such as wah-wah effects and distortion.
How does the guitar works?
The strings on a guitar vibrate when you strum them or pluck them. Depending on how tight the strings are depends on the frequency of the sound (how high or low pitched it is). The circular hole is there to amplify the sound but it is not necessary. If you get a rubber band and pull it really tight then strum it, it will make a higher pitched sound than if you loosen it and strum it. As you can imagine after time the stings on a guitar loosen that is why you need to re tune it.
Is violins guitars and harps produce sound by vibrating membranes?
What? Guitars strings vibrate resonating inside the guitar. Similar with the violin the bow scrapes the string to make it vibrate and resonate. Harp use reeds that vibrate at different speeds to produce pitch
What happens when strings of violin are bowed?
