How do string instruments make sound?
Different string instruments have different ways to make sound. Pianos hit the strings with a felt covered "Hammer", a Guitar creates a sound when the guitar player plucks a string. Either way, each string instrument makes sound by the vibration of the string.
Does sound make vibration or does vibration make sound?
Vibrations cause sounds. A sound wave is the vibration of the air around whatever is "causing" the sound (aka, whatever is causing the vibration--a guitar string, vocal cords, the mechanics of a stereo, etc).
What causes a guitar to have sound?

How does the saxophone make noise?
The player blows air over the reed, causing it to vibrate and buzz...The reed produces a sound/vibration, which then spreads down the instrument, and resonates...The sound, amplified, comes out the bell.
What is the reason that instruments make sound?
Sound itself is vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound by the ear. Instruments are created as vehicles for the generation and amplification of those vibrations. When one hits a drum, the head of the drum vibrates, causing vibrations in the air that are perceived by the ear as sound. If you place your hand on the drumhead to stop the vibrations, the sound stops. When one plays a trombone, his lips buzz (vibrate) into the mouthpiece and that sound is amplified by resonance within the instrument. When a guitar string is plucked, the vibration of the string causes vibrations in the air that are perceived as sound.

Because when you pluck / strum (or in a piano;s case pressing will cause the strings to be hit ) it causes the strings to make a vibration and it will make a difference on the length and thickness of the string to what sound it will make It also makes a sound because when you pull it and release it it makes a sound. Almost everything makes a sound.
Can sound energy effect a solid?
Yes. All solids have a frequency, and when contacted by a sound of the same frequency, it causes the vibration of molecules in the solid. That is why singers can make a glass break vith their voice.
