bowed instrument
Violin or cello
A bowed instrument is a stringed musical instrument played by drawing a bow across the strings rather than plucking or striking them.
The violin, viola, cello, and double bass form the bowed string section of an orchestra.
The sustained, singing tone produced by bowing distinguishes these instruments from guitars or harps.
