This is a complex question - or rather the answer could be.

In a violin for example, the strings rotate as well as vibrate.

In a simple 'string and tin can phone" the waves are transverse waves carried by the taut string.

Basically, your string can vibrate back and forth, normal to the string;

or it may rotate round the axis along the string;

or a mass may swing suspended by the string as in a pendulum.
