Every musical instrument is different, but they all have one thing common: they convert energy from motion into sound by causing a part of the instrument to vibrate. These vibrations cause waves in the air that, when sensed by our ears, are interpreted as sound. Sound waves travel at different speeds depending on the source of the vibrations. The faster a sound wave moves, the higher the pitch of the sound.
