string section
Fiddlers and cellists
The string section is the part of an orchestra composed of stringed instruments played with a bow—violins, violas, cellos, and double basses.
It typically forms the largest group in an orchestra and often carries the melody.
In recording studios, adding a string section gives pop or rock songs orchestral richness.
