The main reason a stringed instrument makes sound is that the strings vibrate when strummed, plucked, or bowed and their vibrations create sound waves that you can hear. Instruments like the Violin make sound when bowed because the bow hairs have tiny teeth like structures that pull the strings and makes them vibrate.
The sound waves are then amplified via either the hollow body of the instrument or through electronics.
