Some common instruments with strings are the guitar, violin, cello, and bass.
All stringed instruments can be plucked (even piano, if you consider that stringed) If you meant what kinds are only plucked, I would say only harp or guitar. The Harpsichord produces it's sound by plucking, but one pushes the keys, and the keys pluck, so it's a little different.
One thing that string, wind, and percussion instruments have in common regarding the sounds they produce is that they all rely on vibrations to create sound. In string instruments, vibrations come from plucked or bowed strings; in wind instruments, sound is produced by the vibration of air within the instrument; and in percussion instruments, vibrations occur when surfaces are struck or shaken. Despite their different mechanisms, the fundamental principle of vibrating materials to generate sound unites these diverse categories of instruments.
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.
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.
They all have: * strings * a bridge * use a bow to produce sustained tones * mostly made of wood
A keyboard instrument, precursor of the piano. The strings are plucked by leather or quill points connected with the keys. In common use from the 16th to the 18th century and revived in the 20th.
During the Renaissance, several instruments were not commonly used, including the piano, which was developed later in the Baroque period. Additionally, the saxophone and the tuba, both of which emerged in the 19th century, were absent from Renaissance music. Instead, the period primarily featured instruments like the lute, viol, and early keyboard instruments such as the harpsichord. The use of percussion instruments was also less prominent compared to later musical eras.
