answer: hope this helps 1. I think a drum would be the easiest instrument to explain. You can vary the pitch and loudness by hitting it with different intensities or at different points or angles.

PS. I'm not talking about a drum set. I'm talking about an ordinary drum.

2. Different types of instruments sound different even though they play the same notes because they use different mechanisms for producing sound.

Answer:

The guitar originally had four courses of strings, three double, the top course single, that ran from a violin-like pegbox to a tension bridge glued to the soundboard, or belly; the bridge thus sustained the direct pull of the strings. In the belly was a circular sound hole, often ornamented with a carved wooden rose. The 16th-century guitar was tuned C–F–A–D′, the tuning of the centre four courses of the lute and of the vihuela.

From the 16th to the 19th century several changes occurred in the instrument. A fifth course of strings was added before 1600; by the late 18th century a sixth course was added. Before 1800 the double courses were replaced by single strings tuned E–A–D–G–B–E′, still the standard tuning.
