Do not confuse the musical instruments!

The piano - an instrument having a hammer-action keys, and whose design allows you to extract the sound of the strings stretched vertically.





Occasionally found this review - "The piano can not be higher than 140 centimeters, and the piano, as a rule, can reach a height of 180 centimeters." Regardless of the size of the piano is a piano.



The piano often used for chamber music piano performance, training and amateur music-making. Due to the relative compactness can be installed in most apartments.



The piano has a wing-shaped body, is mounted on three legs and horizontal.



The larger deck piano gives a loud sound, which makes it ideal for concerts and music schools.



Violin, viola, cello and double bass



Violin - the classic musical instrument as he (she) looks like, I think almost everyone knows. Therefore, we will dance on it.



Although the size violins for me was the opening.

Main size: 4/4 (355-360mm size deck (housing), without the neck - the whole violin for the average adult). the smallest 1/16 (230-240mm - from 3 to 5 years). In 3 years the violin ?!



Viola Violin from different only in size, design and shape of one to one. Modern Alto has a length of 38 to 43 centimeters.

Left violin, viola Right.



Alto larger 46-47 centimeters (violas are manufactured by the old masters of Italian schools) play mostly solo performers who have stronger hands, and developed technology.



From pranksters with music forums:

"What is the difference from the violin viola?

Alt burns longer.

Viola put more beer ».



Cello same structure as that of a violin or viola, but much larger. When playing cello artist rests on the floor spire.

The principles of the game - the same as that of the violin, however, due to the large size of the instrument and a provision of gaming machines playing the cello complicated.

Quartet «Apocalyptica» (Finland).



The orchestral score written Cellos between Viola and Double Bass. Cello - an obligatory participant String Quartet.



Bass (ital. Contrabbasso) - the largest in size (about two meters in height), and the lowest sounding of the widely used bowed string instruments.



Modern double basses can have a fifth string tuned to kontroktavy or special mechanism, "lengthens" the lowest string and enables more lower sounds.



The main scope of the bass - a symphony orchestra, in which the group has a critical role basses bass foundation. Bass is also sometimes used in chamber ensembles as well as in jazz and related genres.



The rockabilly bass is used instead of a bass guitar, and the game is almost always slap (blow to the thumb on the strings) - at the expense of "clicks" completes the rhythm section of bass and in groups without a drummer - successfully replace her.

"Mister Twister»



If you just want to distinguish them is important to remember: big and violin stands on the floor - if it is above a person of average height is bass if below - call it the cello.

From left to right: violin, violin, double bass, viola and cello.



And the main characters for which the post and created.

Just look at the accordion. "In Stirlitz nothing betrayed Russian spy, except fur cap with a star and the parachute dragging behind».

In Russia, the accordion is called only the right tools such as a piano keyboard.



In the United States, Europe and other countries called all kinds of accordions hand harmonics, which in turn may have their own names.

For example accordion's considered kind of button accordion. God be their judge.



The number of keys on the right (piano) keyboard 41 in full and 24 of the accordion at the small, which are mainly used as a student instruments. Left keyboard consists of 120 keys in a full accordion, 6 rows of 20 keys. In small from 72 to 24.

The figures in the title indicate the number of 34h80 buttons (keys) on the right and left keyboard respectively. I almost forgot - hand at the harmonics are determined by the artist, so the number of buttons on the left-hand keyboard can convert on the right half of the photo :)

Full accordion 41h120



Small accordion 26h48



The line between harmony and accordion for me, so to speak, a few blurred.

But there are some signs that allow to say - this is exactly the accordion, and this train - the accordion.



The most common harmony in our time - a two-row "hromka", but there are also three-row tools and instruments with a single row of buttons.

"Khromka" 25x25



Besides the standard number of keys 25 on the right and left (25x25) produced both in the factory and harmonic performance of the contract as the reduced and extended band. On the left-hand keyboard in harmony can be a maximum of 31 button.



Button accordions have 3 or 5-row keyboard right. The 5-row keyboard first two series (from fur) are complementary, they duplicate the notes, which are located in three other rows



The right-hand keyboard layouts Moscow concert accordion with 3 rows contains 67 buttons, with 5 rows of buttons 112.

5-row button accordion



3-row button accordion



Left keyboard as well as in full accordion in full accordion consists of 120 keys. 6th row (with umenshёnnymi seventh) some accordions is missing. A minimum of 60 keys.

Polubayany compared with full Bayan smaller and more portable and lightweight. They were suitable for the education of children.

Concertina - better known as the harmonica kupletistov.
