	String instrument - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other string instruments with a keyboard include the clavichord (where the strings are struck by tangents), and the harpsichord (where the strings are plucked by tiny plectra).
		Other keyed string instruments, small enough to be held by a strolling player, include the plucked autoharp, the bowed nyckelharpa, and the hurdy gurdy, which is played by cranking a rosined wheel.
		This is the length of the string from nut to bridge on bowed or plucked instruments and ultimately determines the distance between different notes on the instrument.

	Double bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The instrument is known by several other names (especially when used in folk, bluegrass, and jazz music), including string bass, upright bass, standup bass, acoustic bass, bass viol, contrabass viol, bass violin, doghouse bass, dog-house, bull fiddle, hoss bass, and bunkhouse bass.
		Modern instruments are usually tuned (low to high) E-A-D-G. The lowest string is tuned to E (the same pitch as the lowest E on a modern piano, approx 41Hz), nearly 3 octaves below middle C); and the highest string is tuned to G, an octave and a fourth below middle C (approx 98Hz).
		Intonation, as with all unfretted string instruments, is arguably the biggest difficulty to overcome in mastering the instrument.

	RIN:31 The String Instrument for the Soloist .
		Prospective young virtuosos-thus all who want to make music their career-are on the lookout for old string instruments quite early in life; they tend to fall victim of the public-fueled notion that those instruments for which the highest prices are demanded must no doubt be the best.
		A good (new) string instrument, stripped of all syrupy qualities, improves in tone from year to year while an old one gradually falls prey to the weakness of old age, a condition which cannot be remedied by patching up the instrument.
		The outward appearance of the new instrument is required to be so convincing that neither the audience nor the critic are able to detect that it is not the old instrument that is being performed upon.
