Musical Instrument Quizzes Online & Trivia

The piano was not invented until approximately 1700, more than a hundred years after the end of the renaissance. The Lute, and various stringed instruments are closely associated with renaissance music, not of course the piano, which did not exist in the Renaissance.

No! No! No! This is a very bland misconception. The reason most acoustic music is considered to be guitar-oriented is that the guitar is a very popular instrument and one of the few that sounds excellent on its own. Acoustic music implies music made without the influence of electronic equipment like electric guitars, electric organs, synthesizers etc. Acoustic music may sometimes allow an amplifier if being performed on a stage but that’s it! Synthesizer So basically, any music made on an instrument is acoustic. Be it a drum solo, a violinist concert etc, everything is acoustic music. The term didn’t even exist before the advent of electronic music in the 1960’s.   There are those who personally hate other forms of music and tend to consider acoustic music to be the most ‘pure’ form of music but they are wrong. 

This question has the wrong answer. These are woodwind instruments. Not brass

The answer is letter A. The type of musical instrument used by flamenco dancers is castanets. These are percussion instruments used in different music such as: Italian, Moorish, Spanish, Swiss and Portuguese music. They are a hand percussion instrument which are made from a pair of concave shells that are joined on one edge by a single string. Flamenco, as it is known today, is a music known for its fast rhythm and melodies. However, just because we picked castanets as the answer to this question, it does not necessarily mean that it is the only instrument used by flamenco dancers. Spanish guitar, flamenco guitar, cajon and palmas can also be used by flamenco dancers to accompany their rhythm while they are dancing.

Pickups are electronic devices for detecting sounds, vibration, etc.; an example is the one fitted to an electric guitar or record player. Pickups are like electromagnetic components that convert mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. Active pickups and passive pickups are two types of pickups. Active pickups can be regarded as modern or newer versions of pickups. They use small magnetic for the conversion of string vibrations into different sound signals. Aside from this, active pickups are equipped with circuits and some other features that can be used in modifying the sound. Passive pickups, on the other hand, are traditional or older types of pickups. They make use of magnetic just like active pickups to convert mechanical vibrations into sound signals, but this time around, passive pickups use bigger magnetic compared to active pickups. Active pickups give the player the chance to have control and make some effects with the instrument, but this is not so with passive pickups
