He is reputed to have observed that when the lengths of vibrating strings are expressible as ratios of integers ( e. g. 2 to 3, 3 to 4 ), the tones produced will be harmonious.

Specific exceptions are made for cases in which the addition of a period or comma could create confusion, such as the quotation of web addresses or certain types of data strings.

According to the Jargon File, American hackers switched to what they later discovered to be the British quotation system because placing a period inside a quotation mark can change the meaning of data strings that are meant to be typed character-for-character.

They are also used to implement many other data structures, such as lists and strings.

Arrays are used to implement other data structures, such as heaps, hash tables, deques, queues, stacks, strings, and VLists.

The strings are gathered at the tail like an archtop guitar, but the top is flatter.

When compressed, the crystal produces a small electrical current, so when placed under the bridge saddle, the vibrations of the strings through the saddle, and of the body of the instrument, are converted to a weak electrical signal.

" Iroquois are also known for " embossed " beading in which strings pulled taunt force beads to pop up from the surface, creating a bas-relief.

Badminton racquets are lightweight, with top quality racquets weighing between 70 and 95 grams ( 2. 4 to 3. 3 ounces ) not including grip or strings.

Badminton strings are thin, high performing strings in the range of about 0. 62 to 0. 73 mm thickness.

Thicker strings are more durable, but many players prefer the feel of thinner strings.

Some string manufacturers measure the thickness of their strings under tension so they are actually thicker then than specified when slack.

Bronze strings are commonly reserved on pianoforte for the lower pitch tones, as they possess a superior sustain quality to that of high-tensile steel.

All have three-sided bodies, spruce or fir tops, backs made of three to nine wooden sections ( usually maple ), and they are typically strung with three strings.

The most common solo instrument is the prima, which is tuned E-E-A ( thus the two lower strings are tuned to the same pitch ).

Today, nylon strings are commonly used in place of gut.

equals because there are three x, y strings of length 3 with exactly two ys, namely,

* All six strings are made from nylon, or nylon wrapped with metal, as opposed to the metal strings found on other acoustic guitars.

The lower three strings (' bass strings ') are wound with metal, commonly silver plated copper.

The strings ' vibrating length is determined when the strings are pressed down behind the frets.

The upright bass produces a different sound than the bass guitar, because its strings are not stopped by metal frets, instead having a continuous tonal range on the uninterrupted fingerboard.

For the band's fourth album, Eldorado, A Symphony, a concept album about a daydreamer, Lynne stopped overdubbing strings and hired an orchestra and choir instead.

It was then perceived that the psalterium in which the strings were plucked, and the dulcimer in which they were struck, when provided with keyboards, gave rise to two distinct families of instruments, differing essentially in tone quality, in technique and in capabilities: the evolution of the psalterium stopped at the harpsichord, that of the dulcimer gave us the pianoforte.

The two strings of a course are virtually always stopped and plucked together, as if a single string, but in extremely rare cases a piece calls for the two strings of a course to be stopped and / or plucked separately.

The violinist produces sound by drawing a bow across one or more strings ( which may be stopped by the fingers of the other hand to produce a full range of pitches ), by plucking the strings ( with either hand ), or by a variety of other techniques.

One is to add enough strings to cover the range of notes desired ; the other is to allow the strings to be stopped.

The right thumb, wearing a thumb-mounted plectrum, picks out the melody on the five fretboard strings, which are stopped by the left hand like a guitar.

It is made up of a curved, oval body, a set of keys and a curved handle, which is turned and connected to a wheel which bows the strings that are stopped by the keys.

The inharmonicity in guitar strings can " cause stopped notes to stop sharp, meaning they will sound sharper both in terms of pitch and beating, than they " should " do.

" Even if a guitar is built so that there are no " fret or neck angle errors, inharmonicity can make the simple approach of tuning open strings to notes stopped on the fifth or fourth frets " unreliable.

The three main playing strings – the comparatively thicker gut strings – are bowed with a heavy horsehair bow and " stopped " not with the finger-tips but with the nails, cuticles and surrounding flesh.

A fingerboard may be fretted, having raised strips of hard material perpendicular to the strings against which the strings are stopped.

The development of the bandura without stopped strings on the neck was thought to have happened later, some time before 1800.

The first and most common construction is to increase the width of the fingerboard such that the extra string ( or strings ) may be stopped by the left hand.

Sounds are produced by plucking open strings, stopped strings, and harmonics.

The bass guitar produces a different sound than the double bass, because its strings are usually stopped with the aid of metal frets.

Because of the impractically large size of its fingerboard and thickness of its strings, the strings were stopped by the use of an intricate system of hand-and foot-activated levers and pedals.

Using the strings that manipulate the puppet, suspend him from the light fixture by tying the strings to the lamp base.

Rameau's Six Concerts En Sextuor, recorded by L'orchestre De Chambre Pierre Menet ( BAM LD 046 ), turn out to be harpsichord pieces arranged for strings apparently by the composer himself.

* The concatenation of the three strings,, can be computed by concatenating the first two strings ( giving ) and appending the third string (), or by joining the second and third string ( giving ) and concatenating the first string () with the result.

This algorithm, for all strings, allows codes as short as allowed by any other algorithm up to an additive constant that depends on the algorithms, but not on the strings themselves.

Clearly there is always at least one such string for any n, as otherwise all possible strings ( infinitely many ) could be generated by the ( finitely many ) programs with lower complexity, so GenerateComplexString must always return.

A chamber ensemble made up entirely of strings of the violin family is referred to by its size.

Keywords in AA were distinguishable from other text by being underlined ; there was also an " uppercasedelimiters " mode where all uppercase letters ( outside strings ) were treated as underlined lowercase.

All this has been gorgeously orchestrated by Jonathan Tunick ; there is no rhythm section, only strings and woodwinds to carry the melodies and harmonies aloft.

From time to time, women would decorate the nose pins by hanging pieces of amber and coral from strings that would dangle down to their chins.

The four-string bass — by far the most common — is usually tuned the same as the double bass, which corresponds to pitches one octave lower than the four lower strings of a guitar ( E, A, D, and G ).

This game is played on a network of coins ( vertices ) joined by strings ( edges ).

Sometimes the balalaika is tuned " guitar style " by folk musicians to G-B-D ( mimicking the three highest strings of the Russian guitar ), whereby it is easier to play for Russian guitar players, although classically trained balalaika purists avoid this tuning.

In information theory and computer science, a code is usually considered as an algorithm which uniquely represents symbols from some source alphabet, by encoded strings, which may be in some other target alphabet.

An extension of the code for representing sequences of symbols over the source alphabet is obtained by concatenating the encoded strings.

The " normal " ensemble — a body of strings supplemented by winds — and movements of particular rhythmic character were established by the late 1750s in Vienna.

The majority of the sound is caused by vibration of the guitar top as the energy of the vibrating strings is transferred to it.

Martin being among the most influential designers of their times ); to not only strengthen the top against collapsing under the tremendous stress exerted by the tensioned strings, but also to affect the resonation of the top.

The main purpose of the bridge on a classical guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
