ARTICLES RELATED TO String instrument - Contact points along the string | | | |  String instrument - Contact points along the string: Encyclopedia II - String instrument - Contact points along the stringIn bowed instruments, the bow is normally placed perpendicularly to the string, at a point half way between the end of the fingerboard and the bridge. However, different bow placements can be selected to change timbre. Application of the bow close to the bridge (known as sul ponticello) produces an intense, sometimes harsh sound, which acoustically emphasizes the upper harmonics. Bowing above the fingerboard (sul tasto) produces a thin, "breathy" sound, emphasizing the fundamental frequency.
Similar timbral distinctions are also possible with plucked string instruments by selecting an approp ...

| | | | String instrument - Contact points along the string: Encyclopedia II - String instrument - Types of string instruments String instruments are usually categorized by the technique used to produce sound. In order for a string instrument to produce sound, its string or strings must vibrate. There are three common ways to initiate vibration.
String instrument - Plucking.
Instruments such as the guitar, kora and sitar are plucked, either by a finger or thumb, or by some other device such as a plectrum.
String instrument - Bowing.

String instrument - Through resonance.
A vibrating string on its own makes only a very quiet sound, so string instruments are usually constructed in such a way that this sound is amplified either by a hollow resonating chamber, a soundboard, or both. On the violin, for example, the taut strings pass over a bridge resting on a hollow box. The strings' vibrations are distributed via the brid ...

Achieving effective and beautiful resonance is something of an art, and the makers of string instruments often seek very high quality woods to this end, particularly spruce (chosen for its combination o ...
