Q1: What do all musical instruments have in common?

[Answer]

Most sounds are a mixture of many kinds of vibration. But if we can make something vibrate as a single pure sound then it will seem pleasant to the ear.

Sounds which are pure make musical notes.

We make pure sounds in many ways, such as plucking a stretched string (guitar) or tapping on a stretched skin (drum).
