stringed instruments
Guitars, violins, cellos
Stringed instruments are musical instruments that produce sound from vibrating strings.
The category includes guitars, violins, cellos, harps, and banjos.
Strings may be plucked, bowed, or struck.
The term distinguishes these from wind, percussion, and keyboard instruments, though pianos technically use strings struck by hammers.
