Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even though the loudness and pitch are the same, the sound qualities of the notes produced by a flute and a trumpet are different due to the different shapes and materials used to make the instruments. Flutes have a more gentle and airy quality, while trumpets have a more brassy and bold quality. Therefore, the notes played by these instruments will sound different even if they are the same loudness and pitch.
