violins, violas, celli (cello), and bass
these are the main ones but there is a first violin group and a second violin group
Actually there are four types of musical instruments: String Family Brass Family Woodwind Family Percussion Family Because the Brass and the Woodwind families are blown to work they can be regarded as the Wind Family of the instruments. Therefore if you want to divide the instruments into three: Strings, Winds, Percussion
The four orchestral familes are percussion, brass, strings and woodwinds. However, this is not the true order because persussion instruments do not always have a defined pitch, and they could be in any pitch range. The other three families, brass, string and woodwinds, can be placed in pitch order:Woodwinds (main and related)BrassStrings
Orchestras consist of four main families of instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Among these, the string family typically has the most members, often including violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. This larger presence allows strings to provide the core harmony and melodic lines in orchestral music.
Most regular string instruments only have four strings, but occasionally violins are made with a fifth string (C string) so that teachers can teach both violin and viola students with the same instrument. There are also world instruments, such as the Hardanger fiddle, which have more than 4 strings.
A large orchestral work in four movements is a symphony.
A typical string section in an orchestra consists of four main types of instruments: violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. The first and second violins are usually the largest groups, followed by violas, cellos, and fewer double basses. The exact number of each instrument can vary depending on the specific orchestral arrangement. Overall, the string section can include anywhere from 20 to over 50 musicians.
The four stringed instruments in an orchestra: the violin, the viola, the cello, and the double bass.

A contrabass, also known as a double bass, typically has four strings, tuned in perfect fourths (E1, A1, D2, G2). Some contrabasses may have a fifth string, which is usually a low C, expanding the instrument's range. The four-string version is the most common in orchestral and ensemble settings.
I think you're getting slightly confused with your terminology. The 'string family' comprises all the bowed stringed instruments in a standard orchestra: violins, violas, cellos (violoncellos), and double basses. Thus there are four types of instrument in the string family.
Yes, the kit is considered part of the string family, specifically referring to the "kit" or "kit violin," which is a small, lightweight string instrument. It typically has four strings and is played with a bow, similar to other string instruments like violins and violas. The term "kit" can also refer more broadly to various stringed instruments in different contexts, but it is generally associated with the string family.
