In orchestral music, instruments that sound arco include string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and double basses, where players use a bow to produce sound. Additionally, some other instruments, like the harp, can also create arco sounds through similar bowing techniques. The term "arco" contrasts with "pizzicato," where strings are plucked instead of bowed.
