  • Instrument Families: String All String Instruments Have Something in Common: They All Make Sound When Their Strings Wiggle/Vibrate
    Instrument Families: String All string instruments have something in common: they all make sound when their strings wiggle/vibrate. This can be done by plucking, using a bow, or striking the string. These strings can be made of gut (animal intestine- not as frequent now), metal, silk, or nylon. Types of String Instruments Lutes Instruments in this category feature an enclosed space for the sound to bounce around/resonate in, strings that go across it, and a neck that the strings are attached to. Someone who plays this kind of instrument moves their fingers up and down the neck. When they change the size of the string, they change the pitch/sound the string makes. They are usually plucked or bowed. Some instruments in the category are the guitar, banjo, violin, and a double bass. Harps Instruments in this category have strings that are contained within a frame. Some have levers and pedals to change their notes. They are usually plucked. Some harps include the concert harp, Celtic lever harp, and the Welsh triple harp (which has three sets of strings). Zithers Instruments in this category typically have many strings stretched over a flat sounding board. They are laid flat and are either played by strumming, with a pick, a bow, have keys (like a piano), or in some cases “hammers.” Some instruments in this category are the autoharp, hammered dulcimer, or bowed psaltery.
