A string instrument is constructed with a tightly stretched cord or wire that sounds when plucked, struck or played with a bow. Violin, harp, lute, bass, guitar, and bajo are examples of string instruments.
You make a canjo. It may remind you of a cup and string telephone except you use two tin cans and fishing line.
The pitch of stringed instruments can be changed by:
1. Stretching or loosening the string
2. Shortening or lengthening the string
3. Thickness or thinness of the string.
