String instruments


Are musical instruments that produce sound vibrating strings, that usually amplificated by the body of the instrument, the sound is produced by the pulsation, rubbing or striking.

We usually find these instruments in a classic orchestra. That are violins, violas, cellos and basses.
The most cord instruments have a sound box.

The string instruments can be divided in three groups:
1. Lutes: 
instruments in which the strings are supported by a neck and a bout for instance a guitar, violin a saz.
2. Harps:
Instruments in which the strings are contained within a frame.
3.Zithers: 
instruments with the strings mounted on a body. Like a piano.

The Guitar:
The guitar is a instrument that makes sound by the playing of its (typically) six strings with the sound being projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification.

The violin:
 is a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments,

The viola:

It is slightly larger than a violin in size and has a deeper sound.

The cello:

Is bigger than the viola and the violin and produce a sound deeper than the other two.

The bass:

is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument of the violin family.
