B. The pitch cannot be changed in a table
C. He tightens the skin by sketching the string around
D. He gets a bigger table.

Answer 1

Pitch of the sound decides the quality of the sound produced by the instruments. The sound wave can be improved by improving its pitch. The pitch of the sound is dependent on the frequency of the sound.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Tabla is a musical instrument. It is formed by two sets of hand drums. These drums are operated by hands. It creates the beats when you bang this table. The tabla shows the pair of the hand drums with different sizes. The size of both drums is different. Each drum shows a black coloured region. This region is used to produce the beat.
Each drum is single headed. The shape of the drum is barrel shaped. One drum is smaller and another is bigger. The position of the drum is fixed.
The dominant beat is produced by the right drum. It is also known as daya drum. The small beats are produced by the left drum. It is known as baya.
The outer layer of the table drum is covered by the leather. This leather is stretched and spread over the region. The leather membrane is placed by the leather braces. The tension in the drum is produced. This tension is balanced by the wooden peg. The wooden peg lies in between the braces and the drum. The pitch is controlled by the wooden peg.
So, the table player can increase the pitch by tightening the outer skin.
Option C is correct.

Note:- The sound wave is produced by the disturbance created in the medium. When you bang the skin of the table. The medium is disturbed. So, it creates the wave.
