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.

The Japanese musical instrument that begins with the letter "p" is the "shamisen." It is a three-stringed instrument played with a plectrum, known for its distinctive, twangy sound. Although it doesn’t start with "p," if you are looking for a more specific instrument, the "pipa" is a traditional Chinese string instrument often associated with Japanese music as well. However, the shamisen is more closely tied to Japanese culture.


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! [(^_^)]


What is a musical instrument that produces sound when a string or strings stretched between two points is plucked strummed or has a bow pulled across it?

Oh, dude, that's like asking what's a fancy way to say "string twanger." It's a string instrument, man. You know, like guitars, violins, cellos, all those things that make noise when you pluck or strum their strings. So, yeah, it's just a fancy way of saying "string instrument."
