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.
Different instruments produce sound differently. In a nutshell:
In reed instruments like clarinets and saxophones, the player's air goes across the reed, creating vibration. For double reed instruments (oboe, bassoon, english horn), the two reeds vibrate against each other. Not all reeds require direct contact with the player's mouth, like the Bagpipes.
For Flute family instruments, the player directs air into a small hole in the head joint, and a rapid vibration is created in the head of the flute. The rest of the flute is the resonator.
Brass instruments (Trumpet, french horn, tuba, ect.) make their sound from sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator. The mouthpiece is vibrated by the player's lips. That's why they make the "buzzz" type of vibration in their lips when they play.
The vibrations of one string being plucked makes a pitch. If you make chords then you can make different sounds, in music chords are when you play two or more notes and combine them making music.
This is how a string instrument makes a sound! :D
Vibration of the strings.
For wind instruments you have to blow into them.
String instruments produce sound through the vibration of strings. The length, tightness, and thickness all influence the sound that the string produces.
Pluck the difrent strings make it deveolp diffrent sound!
When the strings vibrate, it produces a sound that is transferred into the air by the body of the instrument. The vibrations move through the air where they are sensed by your ears.
Most percussion and string instruments operate of vibrations to produce sound. Drum heads, xylophone bars, strings and reeds all vibrate on instruments that use them to produce sound.
Musical instruments are divided into families according to the way they produce sounds. String instruments produce sounds by plucking or bowing strings. Woodwind and brass instruments produce sound by blowing air into them. Sounds from percussion instruments are produced by striking on them.
Sting instruments. Unless you're talking about a piano type instrument with vibrating strings.
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. The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.

True. A vibrating string can produce a sound. This is how string instruments such as a guitars and violins work. Although such strings are made of metal (like steel wire) or plastic (like nylon), the principal is the same for all of them.
String instruments make sound because you put rosin on the bow.
String instruments sit at the front of the orchestra because of the volume/intensity of the sound that they are able to produce compared to the brass, woodwind, and percussion. If the strings were to be placed behind the band, then the audience would have a hard time hearing the string instruments, because band instruments generally produce louder sounds than string instruments. It is because of the volume balance that sometimes even the string instruments are rearranged. In example, sometimes the violas and the cellos switch places because the cellos play to softly, or because the violas play too loudly, or because of both.
The sound is produced by the vibration of the string.
