orchestral strings
Bowed instrument section
Orchestral strings are the section of an orchestra comprising instruments played with a bow—violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.
The term distinguishes these from other string instruments like guitars or harps.
Strings typically form the largest section and the harmonic foundation of orchestral music: The orchestral strings swelled beneath the oboe solo.
