the harpsichord creates what type of sound
a. plastic
b. deep
c. light***
d. metallic
I guess you have picked the best answer
Unlike a piano, whose strings are hit with hammers, and whose volume can vary (piano-forte),
a harpsichord's strings are plucked (like a harp's) and always play at the same volume.
Listen to some recordings and it's easy to tell one from the other.
What is it please help me please if not i get something really bad and it hurts :(
My answer came up as metallic!
its light
c. light
The answer is c. light.
To arrive at this answer, you can use deductive reasoning based on the characteristics of a harpsichord and the sound it produces. Here's how you can go about solving this:
1. Understand what a harpsichord is: A harpsichord is a keyboard instrument that originated in the medieval period and was widely used in the Baroque era. It looks similar to a piano but has distinct differences in its mechanism and sound production.
2. Consider the construction of a harpsichord: Unlike a piano, which uses hammers to strike the strings, a harpsichord has a mechanism that plucks the strings when keys are pressed. This means that the harpsichord produces sound through plucking rather than striking.
3. Analyze the characteristics of sound produced by plucking: When a string is plucked, the resulting sound tends to have a light, delicate quality. It lacks the sustained resonance and depth that can be achieved through striking, as in the case of a piano.
4. Evaluate the options: Based on this knowledge, you can eliminate options a, b, and d. Plastic, deep, and metallic do not accurately describe the sound produced by a harpsichord. This leaves us with the correct answer, c. light.
By understanding the instrument's mechanics and the way sound is produced, you can make an informed deduction about the type of sound that a harpsichord creates.
