stringed
Like a guitar
Stringed describes instruments that produce sound through vibrating strings: stringed instruments like guitars, violins, and harps.
The word functions as an adjective formed from string, used almost exclusively in musical contexts.
A stringed quartet would be unusual phrasing—string quartet is standard—but stringed instruments is the natural choice.
