String instruments All stringed instruments make sound and notes by vibrating.Musicians make the strings vibrate by rubbing a bow against it. Most stringed instruments have something that amplifies the sound. The sound box is often the largest part of the instrument or the body of the instrument. The top of the sound box is called the soundboard it is usually made out of a type of wood. There are three ways that stringed instruments can produce different notes :Length –longer strings vibrate slower and make lower sounding notes than shorter things. Weight –heavy,thick strings make lower notes than higher things. Tightness – a tight string makes a higher note than a loose string. Different string instruments are played in different ways.Some are played in different ways.Some are played with bows,some with picks and some by plucking or strumming with your fingers.
