How do drums create sound?
The above covers the basic features of most acoustic (non-electronic) percussive instruments, including pianos, and there are even similarities with non-percussive instruments like the violin. The performer’s energy goes from her/his body to the bow, the string, the bridge and to the body of the violin which in some ways is like the drum head described above. It is the vibrations coming from the violin’s body that cause sound waves to move through the air mass.
