For one thing, "string instruments" and "stringed instruments" are not the same. String instruments are the viol family and stringed instruments are any instrument that has strings. The piano and harp both qualify.Now, the piano is a percussion instrument that has strings and the harp is an unbowed stringed instrument.
A lyre is a stringed instrument. It has more strings than a guitar and fewer than a harp.
There is not an instrument that has 1000 strings. The largest stringed insturment is the Earth Harp that has 16-22 strings and can span 1000 feet. A 1000 string version has been discussed.
Harp
A chordophone is any musical instrument which makes sounds by way of a vibrating string or strings stretched between 2 points. A stringed instrument is any musical instrument that has a string.
The harp is a unique member of the stringed instrument family. Like other members of the string family, the harp's sound is produced by vibrating strings stretched between parts of a wooden frame or box. On a harp, the strings' vibrations are produced by being plucked by hand, while seven pedals at the bottom of the harp adjust the length of the strings to produce more notes.
The harpsichord is a stringed, specifically plucked stringed, instrument, like a guitar. Percussion instruments are those where you have to hit something to make the sound. So drums are percussive, obviously, but less obviously the piano is also percussion, because the sound is made by striking the strings. Harpsichord is not percussive because the strings are plucked, not struck.
In terms of classical instrument The cello was the first string instrument to be made. But the 1st ever invented stringed instrument was a a simple musical bow, then came the Harp then Lyre; 1st stringed instrument to have acoustic properties
