timbre (tam • bur), n. “…the perceived sound quality of a musical note, sound or tone…” (“Timbre” 1), commonly used as a distinguisher between different instruments (vocal or otherwise) playing the same note, a way to take note of the differences in the origins of where two sounds come from within their shared pitch. Often a deciding factor in a 6th grader’s decision of which instrument they’re willing to confine themselves to for an entire semester of band class. [French.]
