The String Family

Hi Zahra,

Aryanna, Faisal and Matthew! Thank you for an outstanding presentation. I commend you for your initiative and work. You are shining role models for your peers!

Compare and Contrast

By Zahra N., Aryanna W.,

Faisal P., and Matthew E. P.

Viola

All String instrument players use bows.

The bow strings are all made of horse hair.

The difference about the instruments are that their all different sizes. Depending on the size the higher the sound is or the lower the sound is. A double bass has the lowest sound and is the largest instrument. The violin on the other hand is the smallest instrument and has the highest sound.

The viola is a cool instrument. The viola is a bowed string instrument. It is slightly larger than a violin in size and has a lower and deeper sound than a violin. Since the 18th century it has been the middle voice of the violin family, between the violin (which is tuned a perfect fifth above it) and the cello (which is tuned an octave below it).

Cello

The Cello is a wonderful instrument. The violoncello, abbreviated as cello, is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola.

Harp

Conclusion

The harp is a wonderful instrument. Pedal harps can have from 40 to 47 strings. 40 strings are fine for some purposes, but in an orchestra you will probably want 46 or 47 strings. Incidentally, the 47 strings equal almost the range of the piano, minus the bottom two and top three keys, so C on the bottom to G at the top.

The string family is really interesting. We learned a lot from making this presentation! We also hope you did too!

Violin

Double Bass

Violins have four strings. The strings are A, D, G, and E. E is has the highest tune and G is the lowest.

When the bow touches the string , they vibrate. The violin has holes in it.. The hollow inside works as a resignation chamber, to make the sound. The violin is the smallest instrument in the string family.

The double bass is a cool instrument.The double bass, or upright bass, also called the string bass, contra bass, bass viol, stand-up bass, bull fiddle or simply bass, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument of the string family in the modern symphony orchestra, with strings usually tuned to E1, A1, D2 and G2. The double bass is a standard member of the orchestra.
