The lighter and smaller the woodblock the higher the note produced. 

Moreover some woodblocks have cavities in them which will make them hollow changing the sound changing the frequency and sound produced. ]]> 2018-03-09 12:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240101843 How does playing technique influence the sound. carlmatthews787 https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240101896 Playing style such as Dynamics - hitting a  Glockenspiel hard will result in it producing a loud sound whereas hitting it softly will make it produce a softer or quieter sound. 

Moreover what you use to hit the instrument will affect the sound for example. Hitting a Marimba with you hands for example will change the dynamics and frequency over hitting it with a mallet which will direct more force and produce a clearer higher sounding note. ]]> 2018-03-09 12:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240101896 Marimba carlmatthews787 https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240107080 2018-03-09 12:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240107080 Glockenspiel carlmatthews787 https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240107117 As you can see from the sound wave it is higher in pitch mainly due to the main sound coming from metal instead of wood from the Marimba. The amplitude is quieter than the Marimba as each metal key is smaller in proportion to that of the Marimbas wooden keys. ]]> 2018-03-09 12:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240107117 Glockenspiel carlmatthews787 https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240166767 2018-03-09 14:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240166767 Marimba carlmatthews787 https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240167571 2018-03-09 14:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/carlmatthews787/eto5wpqg8d42/wish/240167571
