Long metal cords that produce sound when the bow is drawn across them. A string player can vary the pitch of the sound produced by lengthening or shortening the string with his/her fingers.
These are the lengths of steel, nickel, plastic, or gut that run from the bridge, through the nut, and out to the tuning pegs of your instrument. These are the pieces that actually MAKE the sounds that you play when you play your instrument.
The hitting surface of the racket, made up of interlaced strings of gut or synthetic material.
the section of an orchestra that plays stringed instruments
Stretched between the tuners and the body. Different string weights give different sounds or frequencies.
On of the four families of instruments in the orchestra. Instruments include violin, viola, cello, and string bass.
Strings are what you put on your guitar to produce sounds.
Heavier strings are harder on acoustic guitars, they can be made of steel wound with bronze, or they can be made of nylon. On electric guitars, the strings are made of steel, often with nickel windings to bend but produce a stronger sound. They also stay in tune better than thinner ones. Both steel and nickel are attracted to magnets. The magnetic pickups underneath these strings sense their vibrations and send tiny electrical signals to an amplifier.
Instruments with strings that produce sound when plucked, struck or bowed. String instruments include the violin, cello, viola, harp and guitar.
Stretched between the tuners and the bridge of guitar.
Strings have been made of a variety of materials: fiber, gut, horsehair, silk, metal, nylon. Strings may be classed as open or stopped; as melody, sympathetic, or drone strings; as on-board or off-board strings.
A string is the vibrating element which is the source of vibration in string instruments, such as the guitar, harp, piano, and members of the violin family. They are lengths of a flexible material kept under tension so that they may freely vibrate. Strings may be "plain" (consisting only of a single material, like steel or nylon), or they may have a core of one material with an overwinding of other materials to increase their mass and thickness.
