The stringed instrument that was once made so large that it required two people to play it, with one person fingering the notes and another holding the bow, is the octobass. The octobass is an extremely large and rare instrument that belongs to the double bass family. It produces extremely low frequencies and is primarily used in orchestral settings for its unique and powerful sound.

Is a guitar a percussion instrument?

Any instrument that requires striking to produce a sound is considered a percussion instrument; therefore, since a guitar requires striking by a pick or the finger, this would classify it as a percussion instrument. A string instrument produces a sound through vibrating the strings in a strumming motion with a bow (i.e. cello, violin, bass). A string instrument can be used as a percussion if the musician changes the format from strumming with a bow to striking or plucking. This has been seen commonly when an upright bass is used in jazz or when a violinist plucks the strings. A Guitar is classified as a stringed instrument, not a percussion instrument. It can be plucked to strummed as well as bowed and other methods related to a stringed instrument. A piano is classified as a percussion instrument because the only way to play a piano is to strike it with a mallet which is operated by keys.
