Violin
A high-pitched string instrument played with a bow, commonly used in classical, jazz, and folk music. Known for its versatility and expressive sound.

Slightly larger than the violin, the viola has a deeper sound and plays a crucial role in orchestral and chamber music. It adds richness and depth to musical compositions.
Cello
Much larger than the violin and viola, the cello has a rich, deep sound and is played while seated. Its warm tones make it a favorite in classical music and beyond.
Double Bass
The largest of the bowed string instruments, the double bass has a very low pitch and is used in a variety of music genres, including classical, jazz, and rock. Its powerful sound anchors the harmony.
Fiddle
Essentially a violin, the term "fiddle" is often used when referring to the violin in folk, country, and bluegrass music. Its lively and rhythmic playing style brings energy to these genres.
Viola da Spalla
Also known as the shoulder cello, this unique instrument offers a rich sound and historical significance. It is held on the shoulder and played similarly to a violin, but produces deeper tones.
