harp ,bango,?

Also when playing pizzicato on string intsruments - violin, viola, cello, bass - you

pluck the strings when so playing. In fact, the bass uses pizzicato about as often as arco (bowed).

Nowadays, on prepared pianos, players reach in to the interior to pluck strings,

but that strictly speaking is not how the instrument was meant to be used.
