String Instruments

String instruments are musical instruments that produce sound through vibrating strings. Common examples include the violin, guitar, and cello. These instruments can be played by plucking the strings with fingers or using a bow. The pitch of the sound depends on the string’s length, thickness, and tension; shorter, thinner strings create higher pitches, while longer, thicker ones produce lower sounds. String instruments are used in various music genres, from classical to rock, and often form the backbone of orchestras and bands due to their rich, expressive tones. Their versatility and range make them vital in music.
