the string is either plucked, strummed, or drawn on with a bow. When this happens sound/notes are produced, although not very loudly. they amplify the sound with the body of the instrument, which acts as a resonator, thus amplifying and prolonging the note.

Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like guitars and violins.
