From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twang is an onomatopoeia originally used to describe the sound of a vibrating bow string after the arrow is released.[1] By extension, it applies to the similar vibration produced when the string of a musical instrument is plucked, and similar sounds. The term came to be applied to a nasal vocal resonation, and was historically used to describe "a disagreeable resonance".[1] Later, however, the term came to be more broadly associated with regional dialects, to the extent that in some locations, "a twang is a desirable commodity".[2]

Specific uses of the term include:

  • A particular sharp vibrating sound characteristic of some electric guitars.
  • A high frequency singing sound especially affected by country singers. It allows for a higher vocal reach than would be possible using the standard guttural technique and can be used as an alternative to falsetto singing. Willie Nelson almost always sings with a twang voice.
