There are a number of ways that stringed instruments are played. Some are played with a bow, the resin in the strings causing the vibrations. Some use a pick to pluck the strings. Many, such as the harp and Ukulele are typically played with the fingers.

What ways to produce sound in string instruments?

Sound in string instruments is produced primarily by vibrating strings, which can be set into motion in several ways. The most common methods include plucking the strings (as in guitars and harps), bowing them (as in violins and cellos), and striking them (as in pianos). The vibrations travel through the body of the instrument, amplifying the sound and creating a rich tone. The pitch is determined by the string's length, tension, and mass.

Why so many types of string instruments?

hopefully i am not going to be talking a foreign language to you with all this theory i am about to throw at you. as a grade 7 pianist i have a very good ear for music. to answer your question which is a very sensible one, different instruments make different sounds and different pitches such as Bass Treble Melodie and tremolo. also the sound is different and many instruments together make a very rich sound. piano sounds different from the violin as the strings are played differently. also the harp, harpsichord and the guitar sound different. they are all used in different ways for different styles such as rock and romantic. so over the years instruments were developed to pamper to the needs of the composers at that time and have been brought into modern day from history. No doubt more will be invented in the future.
