string definition and meaning

What is a "string"?

A string is a long, thin piece of material, usually made of metal, nylon, or gut, used in stringed musical instruments. It is stretched across the body of the instrument and vibrates when struck, plucked, or bowed to produce sound. The tension and thickness of the string determine its pitch, with tighter and thinner strings producing higher notes and looser or thicker strings producing lower notes. Strings are found in instruments such as guitars, violins, pianos, and harps, where they are essential for generating the instrument’s sound.
