In most orchestras, they are called double stops. Although I know a few people who call them by other names, ranging from Duals to Crossers, as you have to play more than one string to accomplish it. However, like I said before, the proper term is double stops.

What are some of the bass insruments in the string family?

There is the double bass, also known as the string bass and upright bass (to distinguish it from a bass guitar). It is the lowest string instrument. The other instrument that commonly plays bass, or low, notes is the cello. It is somewhat higher in pitch than the bass but still is big enough that it has to sit on the floor, supported by an end pin.


What is an instrument that starts with the letter L?

Yes, the lyra (also known as the lira or lira da braccio). It is a well-known string instrument founded in the 10th century. There are many versions of it from different parts of the world, including the pear-shaped, three stringed one found around villages in the Black Sea, but all are played on the knee with a horse-hair bow. The lyra is also the instrument that, with a few modification, went on to become some of the well-known string family members, including the violin and cello. Hope this helps! [(^_^)]
