All stringed instruments can be plucked (even piano, if you consider that stringed) If you meant what kinds are only plucked, I would say only harp or guitar. The Harpsichord produces it's sound by plucking, but one pushes the keys, and the keys pluck, so it's a little different.

∙ 14y agoMany string instruments are played by plucking or strumming alone. Examples - guitar, ukelele, mandolin, harp.
Sometimes instruments that are normally bowed (violin, viola, cello, bass) are plucked for a special effect in a piece. This is called pizzicato.

∙ 10y agoA harpsichord is a keyboard instrument, similar to a piano, that has an array of strings plucked by a device called a plectrum (or "pick"), which is actuated by mechanisms attached to the keys. Historically, plectrums were made of quill, but today they are mostly made of plastic.
Guitars are played by plucking the strings in much the same way as a harpsichord, either with or without a pick. The strings are plucked in one of two ways, strumming or finger picking. Sometimes the strings are also tapped, a technique more common in slap bass playing. A pedal steel guitar is a table-mounted instrument similar in design to a guitar, but with reference lines in place of frets, and multiple necks with up to 14 strings each.
Harps and lutes are different from harpsichords and guitars in that plectrums are rarely used, and fingerpicking is the accepted playing method.
The violin, viola, cello, and double bass make up the family of bowed string instruments. The bow is usually made of horse tail hair stretched over a wood frame, and rosin (a solid resin extracted from pine trees) is applied to the hair so that it has sufficient friction to vibrate the strings. Like the guitar and harpsichord, the strings on bowed instruments can also be plucked.

What instrument family does the harp belong to?
The harp is a unique member of the stringed instrument family. Like other members of the string family, the harp's sound is produced by vibrating strings stretched between parts of a wooden frame or box. On a harp, the strings' vibrations are produced by being plucked by hand, while seven pedals at the bottom of the harp adjust the length of the strings to produce more notes.

Where can you find plants for viola da gamba?
This question makes no sense. The Gamba is a baroque stringed instrument, not something that grows in a garden. If you mean plant as in being manufactured, their not, as it is an instrument that has limited apeal. You have to find a lighter that makes them from scratch.
