  Why does a flute sound like a flute? Why does an obo sound like an =
obo? Why does a guitar sound like a guitar? And last, but certainly not =
least, why does a piano sound like a piano?=20

  Does anyone have a simplistic explanation for what is the cause of =
unique sounds/tones among various instruments? If you play A4 at a pitch =
of 440 Hz on any instument, you will hear the pitch of 400 Hz. But they =
will all sound different. So I guess they all do something different to =
the soundwave that reaches your ear. What is that difference? How does a =
speaker reproduce these differences of they only move in and out?

  Thanks for any thoughts.

  Terry Farrell
