The violin is a wooden string instrument .

It is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in regular

use. Violins are important instruments in a wide variety of musical genres. They are most prominent
in the Western classical tradition and in many varieties of folk music.

An electric guitar is a fretted string instrument that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings
which are typically made of steel, and which occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks or fingerpicks the
stringsinto electrical signals. The vibrations of the strings are sensed by a pickup, of which the most
common type is the magnetic pickup, which uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction. The
signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is plugged into a guitar
amplifier before being sent to a loudspeaker, which makes a sound loud enough to hear. The output of
an electric guitar is an electric signal, and the signal can easily be altered by electronic circuits to add
"color" to the sound or change the sound. Often the signal is modified using effects

The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in about 1700 (the exact year is
uncertain), in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard,[1] which is a row of
keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both
hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings. The word piano is a shortened form of pianoforte, the
Italian term for the early 1700s versions of the instrument. The Italian musical terms piano and forte
indicate "soft" and "loud" respectively
a flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across
an opening. A flute produces sound when a stream of air directed across a hole in the instrument
creates a vibration of air at the hole. flutes are categorized as edge-blown aerophones. A musician
who plays the flute can be referred to as a flute player, flautist, flutist or, less commonly, fluter or
flutenist.

The bass guitar is a stringed instrument played primarily with the fingers or thumb, by
plucking, slapping, popping, strumming, tapping, thumping, or picking with a plectrum, often known
as a pick. The bass guitar is similar in appearance and construction to an electric guitar, but with a
longer neck and scale length, and four to six strings or courses. Like the electric guitar, the bass
guitar has pickups and it is plugged into an amplifier and speaker on stage
