Most percussion and string instruments operate of vibrations to produce sound. Drum heads, xylophone bars, strings and reeds all vibrate on instruments that use them to produce sound.
True. A vibrating string can produce a sound. This is how string instruments such as a guitars and violins work. Although such strings are made of metal (like steel wire) or plastic (like nylon), the principal is the same for all of them.
The top string would be vibrating the fastest.
On the harpsichord the strings are plucked, while on the clavichord they are striked. Because of this, the harpsichord is unable to make sounds louder or softer, though they're usually much louder than the clavichords'. To this also helps the fact that harpsichords have a air chamber below the strings, which reverbates, amplifying the sound. On some harpsichords there is another manual (keyboard), positioned above the normal one, with another set of strings, which produces a slightly different sound from the lower manual. When combined they produce a richer sound.
You pluck a string, the string vibrates, the sound waves enter the soundhole, bounce off of the wood(different woods result in different tones)and it all bounces back out of the soundhole.Please see the related link for details.

By plucking the string you create waves which generate vibrations all sound and music are vibrations

Vibration
no
Not all vibrating objects produce sound. Sound is produced when a vibrating object creates compressional waves in a medium, such as air. If the vibrating object is not in contact with a medium that can carry sound, then no sound will be produced.

1. The way it generates sound - the harpsichord plucks a string while the organ generates sound with the vibration of air passing through pipes; 2. The sound - the harpsichord has a string metalic sound, a cross between guitar and harp, while the organ's sound depends on the stops that are pulled. If all stops are pulled then it has a powerful characteristic sound; the sound on a hapsichord also fades quickly, while on the organ it lasts as long as you keep the key pressed; 3. The existence of pedals - the harpsichord has no pedals, while the organ has the bass pedals; 4. Appearance - the haprsichords resemble pianos in shape and size and have usually have various painting in them, while the organ is many times bigger due to the huge number and big size of the bass pipes. 5. Use - the organs are mostly used in churches where they sit all their lives since they are too big to be easily moved, while the harpsichords sit at houses or a concert halls. 6. Price - Organs are generally way more expensive than harpsichords (unless they're really small, but that's not common)
False
if you play the guitar youll see. because all you are doing when you play the guitar is making the strings shorter. the frets stop the string from vibrating past a certain point (that point being the fret) when you make a string shorter it vibrates at a higher frequency thus making the sound higher in pitch. hope his helps - Kyse
