The answer depend on the instrument. And since you have not bothered to state which instrument, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
The Double Bass or the Contrabass is the lowest member of the string family.
Its classed as a medium pitched string instrument across the whole string section. The violin is high and the double bass lowest. However in such things as quartets the cello is used as the bass tone
the octobass, not comenly used in modern orchastras, its lowest string is tuned to C1 (32.7 Hz), one octave below the lowest C of the cello (C2, 65.41 Hz). in modern orchastes the lowest piched instrument would be the double bass.

a GUITAR
The smallest and highest pitched member of the string family in modern times is the violin. The Eucolale and mandolin are also pretty small but in terms of pitch it has to be the violin. In the old days they was an instrument called a rebec which was like a violin but smaller. The rebec was very popular with soldiers as could easily be carried in their packs.
The bass
The instrument that can produce the lowest pitch are Saxophone,Woodwind & low pitch Piano ect....
In a string orchestra, an orchestra with violin, cello, viola, and bass, the bass is the largest and lowest instrument. However, if you were looking for the largest string instrument in a full orchestra, the piano would be the instrument for which you are looking.
