String Instruments

String instruments and chordophones are musical instruments that generate sound from vibrating strings when the musician performs or sounds the strings in an amazing manner.

Musicians perform some string instruments by plucking the strings with their fingers or a plectrum and others by tapping the strings with a small wooden hammer or by rubbing the strings with a bow. In any keyboard instruments, such as the harpsichord, the musician touches a key that plucks the string.

Bowed instruments combine the string segment instruments of the Classical music orchestra (violin, viola, cello and double bass) and a fraction of additional instruments. All of the bowed string instruments can additionally be plucked with the fingers, a method called pizzicato. A broad class of techniques are applied to sound notes on the electric guitar, including plucking with the fingernails or a plectrum, picking and regular tapping on the fingerboard and utilising feedback from a loud, distorted guitar amplifier to create a supported sound. Some types of string instrument are essentially plucked, such as the harp and the electric bass. In the Hornbostel-Sachs design of musical instrument class, applied in organology, string instruments are named chordophones. Other examples involve sitar, rebab, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and bouzouki.
