A (musical note)

A or La is the sixth note and the tenth semitone of the fixed-do solfège.

Acoustic resonance

Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies).

See Drum tuning and Acoustic resonance

The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union.

Interval (music)

In music theory, an interval is a difference in pitch between two sounds.

Journal of Sound and Vibration

The Journal of Sound and Vibration is a scientific journal in the field of acoustics.

Major third

In classical music, a third is a musical interval encompassing three staff positions (see Interval number for more details), and the major third is a third spanning four half steps or two whole steps. Along with the minor third, the major third is one of two commonly occurring thirds.

Overtone

An overtone is any resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency of a sound.

See Drum tuning and Overtone

Perfect fifth

In music theory, a perfect fifth is the musical interval corresponding to a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio of 3:2, or very nearly so.

See Drum tuning and Perfect fifth

Perfect fourth

A fourth is a musical interval encompassing four staff positions in the music notation of Western culture, and a perfect fourth is the fourth spanning five semitones (half steps, or half tones).

See Drum tuning and Perfect fourth

Pitch (music)

Pitch is a perceptual property that allows sounds to be ordered on a frequency-related scale, or more commonly, pitch is the quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies.

See Drum tuning and Pitch (music)

Pitched percussion instrument

A pitched percussion instrument (also known as a melodic or tuned percussion instrument) is a percussion instrument used to produce musical notes of one or more pitches, as opposed to an unpitched percussion instrument which is used to produce sounds of indefinite pitch.
