When one plays strings in order from thicker to thinner in which direction will the picthes go?
The thickest string will have the lowest pitch. As the strings grow thinner the pitch will become higher.
What thickness is the best for a guitar pick?
It doesn't affect tone as much as technique. In general, a thinner pick is good for strumming, while single-note picking, especially with a strong attack or heavier strings or both, needs more plastic.
What string instrument has more than four strings?
The sound produced is dependent upon the mass and tuning tension of the string. Thicker, heavier strings produce lower pitch tones than thinner, lighter strings that produce higher pitch. The higher the frequency of the vibration of a string, the higher the pitch of the sound produced. Thicker strings, being heavier and larger, vibrate slower, producing a lower pitch. Nylon strings are light, but their softness absorbs energy, making their vibration last for less time -- thus shorter "sustain" and a thinner sound.
What a thicker string has in a string instrument?
Instruments strung with thicker (heavier gauge) strings produce more volume and improved tone. However, the string tension is increased which makes the guitar a little harder to play. Much depends on the correct set-up of the instrument - for example bridge height and neck adjustment via the truss rod. In general, people who want to be able to bend strings easily go for lighter gauge (thinner) strings.
Do the center strings on a guitar make a higher or lower pitch than the outside strings?
well, the center stings are in the middle of the pitch. The ones above it (nearer your head as you play) are lower. The ones beow it are higher.
Are the strings on the cello thicker than those on the double bass?
No. They are much thinner.

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.
How would you describe frequency to someone learning about sound?
Lower frequency means lower "pitch". Higher frequency means higher "pitch".The left end of the piano keyboard, the thicker guitar strings, the tuba, the voice of a lion, distant thunder, are all low frequencies.The right end of the keyboard, the thinner guitar strings, the flute, the voice of a kitten or mouse, are all high frequencies. Frequency has nothing to do with how loud the sound is, only how high or low its pitch is.
What makes a harps soundthe thikness of the string or the leangth of the string?
The strings on the harp vibrate, that vibration resonates in the sound board. The thichnes and the length of the string, as well as the material and construction of the string determine frequency. Thicker and longer strings make for a lower pitch sound. Shorter and thinner strings have height pitch. The sound board amplifies the sound, and also gives the tone a character.

What is the difference between and electric bass and an acoustic guitar?
There are several differences between electric bass and an acoustic guitar. A bass guitar has only four strings, which are thicker, while an acoustic guitar has thinner strings and has six of them.
Why is it important to use thicker cuttings instead of thinner ones?
Thicker cuttings are easier than thinner ones
Do you put thicker or thinner oil in your car in the winter?
Thinner.
How do you distinguish between sound wave of different frequencies?
Lower frequency means lower "pitch". Higher frequency means higher "pitch".The left end of the piano keyboard, the thicker guitar strings, the tuba, the voice of a lion, distant thunder, are all low frequencies.The right end of the keyboard, the thinner guitar strings, the flute, the voice of a kitten or mouse, are all high frequencies.Frequency has nothing to do with how loud the sound is, only how high or low its pitch is.
