Main Music Instruments in Orchestra-Strings


Hello again! Here’s an article about guiding to classical music, now it’s main music instruments in orchestra. First, I’ll introduce string instruments first. They are divided to two groups.
Bowed string instruments
1. Violin – Main character of orchestra. The smallest string instrument.

The left string instrument is double bass, the right one is cello.
These string instruments are called “Violin family instruments”, very,very  important in orchestra.
Plucked string instruments
Harp – very old instrument, played in some song. Its sound is similar to piano but brighter.

In fact I want to post article about guitar because it is also string instrument, but there are many kinds of guitar so I have to separate it and tell you about them later.
End of this article, Next article will be woodwind instruments.
