String Instruments

This 12-question quiz walks through the string family, where sound comes from vibrating strings.

You will answer prompts like What is the smallest of the bowed string instruments? and What is the largest among the bowed string instruments?, along with a few true or false items, so it works well for beginners.

A detail worth remembering is that strings can be played in more than one way, either drawn across with a bow or plucked with the fingers, and the quiz asks you to tell the methods apart.

You will also settle a common mix-up about whether the piano belongs in this family.

Recommended level: beginner.
