STRINGED INSTRUMENTS PRODUCE SOUND by the vibration
of stretched strings. This may be done by drawing a bow Ebony
tuning pegs
across the strings, as in the violin; or by plucking the strings,
as in the harp and guitar (see pp. 512-513). The four modern Neck made
members of the bowed string family are the violin, viola, cello of maple
wood
(violoncello), and double bass. Each consists of a hollow,
wooden body, a long neck, and four strings. The bow is a
wooden stick with horsehair stretched across its length.
The vibrations made by drawing the bow across the strings
are transmitted to the hollow body, and this itself vibrates,
amplifying and enriching the sound produced. The harp
consists of a set of strings of different lengths stretched
across a wooden frame. The strings are plucked Fingerboard

by the harp’s sound board. The pitch shoulder
of the note produced by any stringed
instrument depends on the length,
weight, and tension of the string.
A shorter, lighter, or tighter string
gives a higher note.
