There are basically 4 members of the string family:
Violin
The deeper sounding Viola
The Violin cello
and the Contrabass
Various ensembles can be formed by these instruments, from quartets:
all the way to string orchestras
The strings can be played in many ways to different effect. There is pizzicato playing
con sordino, where the player places a piece of rubber over the bridge.
Sul Ponticello
There are many more, these are just for openers!
