String instruments are those which produce sound when the strings vibrate at certain pitch. For those who don’t know what does pitch mean here is the answer, it is a fundamental unit of sound. It is not that all the stringed instruments would always produce same kind of music or sound. Different string instruments produce different styles of music playing and different style of sound they produce. There are different string instruments like guitar, banjo, cello and many others. These different kinds of stringed instruments are used to produce different kinds of music style like jazz or country or some other.
A string instrument like harpsichord pretty much like piano. The notation used in the harpsichord can also be used in the piano and the keyboard used in the harp is same as the one that is used in the piano. The music that is produced in the harp is because of the striking of the strings.
Another instrument that is pretty similar to the piano is the one named hammered dulcimer. The music that is produced in this instrument is because of the hammer striking the strings which is pretty similar to the technique that is used in the piano to produce music. The strings of the hammered dulcimer can be easily played by the musicians while that is not the same case with the piano. In a hammered dulcimer at least four hammers can strike the strings to produce music.
