Terms used to indicate dynamics (volume level) in printed music are the same for all instruments and voice. In Italian, the language used most often for tempo and dynamic indications in printed music, they are:
- piano: soft (p)
- pianissimo: very soft (pp)
- ppp and pppp are also found
There are several indications used in music for bowed string instruments (violin, viola, cello, bass) that would result in a soft dynamic.
- sul tasto: bow over the fingerboard
- sul ponticello: bow close to, and almost on, the bridge
