String Instruments

Elements determining the tone quality:
  • Source of vibration: String, which is either bowed or plucked
  • Vibrations from the string are transmitted by a bridge to the belly and back of the instrument, causing the large plates (generally wood) to oscillate with frequencies present in the string
  • Holes in the plate (front plate) to force air in and out
