It was previously not used to accompany other instruments because it was barely audible. The clavichord is most beautiful when playing slow and expressive music. Fretted clavichords A fretted clavichord has pair of strings which could play more than one note. The tangent of at least two notes hit the strings at varied lengths from the bridge and also produces varied tones. The guitar should not have too much midrange. The dynamic range is the ability of the guitar to easily switch from very loud to very soft. The cutting power is the capability of the guitar to be audible even when accompanying other instruments. This does not mean that a guitar must always be loud but it means fitting and filling dry areas instead. When you put together these two instruments, it would resemble the diatonic button accordions which are still made in modern times. As time has passed, many keyboard and buttonboard systems were developed. Now, accordions have the ability to switch with ease between two voices and are constructed in various methods to increase durability and stability. The change in pitch of sound produced by the bagpipe while the player fills the bag is comparable to the variation in pitch caused by breathing changes. Crumhorn music is commonly played by a consort of crumhorns because of limited range. A consort of crumhorns is a cluster of instruments with different pitches and sizes. A change to the octavin During the young twentieth century, it would seem that the odd shape of the octavin has caught the negative attention of a few instrument designers. It is would be strange right now but some straight octavins were created which made it look like a clarinet at first sight. But the conical shape gave it away. A few say that it may have been derived from a Senegambian word that refers to a bamboo stick that was originally used for the banjo s neck structure. History The creation of the banjo can be traced back centuries. The origin of the very first versions of the banjo is indefinite. In the Mideast, Far East and Africa, it was common to see strings stretched across drums made of animal hide.
