  7. String • String instruments are CHORDOPHONES – instruments that make sound by vibrating a string stretched over two points. • Playing this instrument requires plucking or pulling a bow across the string to make it vibrate. When the string vibrates, the air surrounding it vibrates creating the sound that we hear. • Members of this family are: • Violin • Viola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XierDLeUiYg • Cello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcqzPoMza7c • Double Bass/String Bass • Harphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Xdb1ljd3g • Acoustic guitar
