A string instrument (or stringed instrument) is a musical instrument that produces sound by means of vibrating strings, usually over a sounding board and/or resonating chamber. Plucking, bowing, and striking are the three most common techniques used in creating musical sounds from a stringed instrument. The length and tautness of the strings affect the pitch and tone of the sound produced. Strings are often shortened by using the finger or other device to “stop” the string and thus alter its pitch. Chords may be produced by playing more than one string at the same time.
