string players
Fiddlers and cellists
String players are musicians who play stringed instruments—typically violins, violas, cellos, and double basses in orchestral contexts, though the term extends to guitarists, harpists, and others.
The string players warmed up while the brass section waited.
In ensemble settings, string players often form the largest section and carry much of the melodic material.
