There are a number of ways that stringed instruments are played. Some are played with a bow, the resin in the strings causing the vibrations. Some use a pick to pluck the strings. Many, such as the harp and Ukulele are typically played with the fingers.

∙ 11y agoThere are two common ways to play an orchestral string instrument (violin, viola, cello, contrabass): arco (with the bow) and pizzacato (with the finger). Arco is much more common and all parts are assumed to be played arco unless marked otherwise.

∙ 10y agoThe two ways string instruments are played is striking/plucking and bowing.
1. Striking is when you hit a collection of strings with your hand and plucking is when you strike a string or a collection of strings with a plectrum.
2. Bowing is when you use a bow for instruments like violins or cellos.

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.
What are 3 ways to raise the pitch of a string instrument?
Well, you shouldn't really raise the pitch above what it is supposed to be but most stringed instruments have pegs which change the tension of the strings and change the notes.
Why so many types of string instruments?
hopefully i am not going to be talking a foreign language to you with all this theory i am about to throw at you. as a grade 7 pianist i have a very good ear for music. to answer your question which is a very sensible one, different instruments make different sounds and different pitches such as Bass Treble Melodie and tremolo. also the sound is different and many instruments together make a very rich sound. piano sounds different from the violin as the strings are played differently. also the harp, harpsichord and the guitar sound different. they are all used in different ways for different styles such as rock and romantic. so over the years instruments were developed to pamper to the needs of the composers at that time and have been brought into modern day from history. No doubt more will be invented in the future.
Do woodwind or brass instruments make the higher pitch?
Um, I think you're mixing things up a bit. String instruments aren't blown. They are played with a bow (arco) or by plucking the strings (which is called pizzicato). The string instruments' pitches are affected by the ''tautness (how tightly they're pulled) or tightness of of the strings and where the fingers are placed to make the string more taut and make the pitch higher.'' Woodwind and Brass instruments are blown and as far as I know blowing harder just makes them louder. ''Wind instrument pitch is mostly changed by changing the length of the vibrations in the tube (i.e., in the bore.) This happens every time the player changes the fingering: opening holes shortens the bore, closing them lengthens it. There are also ways of changing the pitch by changing breath pressure or embouchure tension (lips).'' I borrowed some information from other people's answers in order to get this one. (Thank you to them). I hope this helps by the way.
