What instruments are in the string family?
There are 4 instruments in the string family. 1. Violin - The violin (also known as the fiddle) is the smallest in the string family, and my personal favorite. It is the smallest, and most high pitched instrument in the string family. The violin comes in many sizes and is fairly easy to play. There are 4 strings on a violin. The lowest string is the G string. The second to lowest string is the D string. Then comes the A string. And lastly the E string. The oldest violin was created in 1555 by Andrea Amati. There are 12 main parts to the violin. The violin's notes are treble clef. 2. Viola - The viola is the second smallest instrument in the string family and a little bit lower pitched. The viola looks very similar to the violin. This instrument use the alto clef. There are also 4 strings on the viola. From lowest pitched to highest pitched they are: G, D, A, and C. 3. Cello - The cello is the second largest instrument in the string family and has the second lowest pitch. The cello is much, much larger in size then the violin and viola. Unlike the violin and viola, the cello is not held up and resting on your chin, but rather you set it on the floor to play. They also play in Alto clef. 4. Bass - The Bass (pronounced Bay-ce) is the largest and lowest pitched instrument in the family. This instrument is also played on the floor and the notes are in bass clef.
