What Is the classifaction for an instrument that produces sound by a string?

Instruments that produce sound by vibrating strings are classified as "string instruments." This classification includes a variety of instruments such as violins, Guitars, and harps. String instruments can be further divided into categories based on how the strings are played, such as bowed (e.g., violins) or plucked (e.g., guitars). The sound is produced when the strings are either struck, plucked, or bowed, causing them to vibrate and resonate.
