In later times these primeval forms have been modi- fied into the various instruments in use in the modern orchestra. It seems as if no musician had ever been interested in the question as to why one instrument should give out a sound so different from another one, even though it was TIMBRE. 85 sounding upon the same pitch. No one can ever mistake "the sound of a violin, or a horn, or a piano, for any other instrument ; and no two persons have voices alike. This difference in tone, which enable...s us to identify an instrument by its sound or a friend by his voice, is called quality of tone, or timbre.
About twenty years ago, that great German physicist Hehnholtz undertook the investigation of this subject, and succeeded in unravelling the whole mystery of the qualities of sound.
He discovered first, that a musical sound is very rarely a simple tone, but is made up of several tones, sometimes as many as ten or fifteen, having different degrees of intensity and pitch. The lowest sound, which is also the strongest, is called the fundamental ' ; and it is this tone we mean when we speak of the pitch of a sound, as the pitch of middle C upon a piano, or the pitch of the A string on a violin.
