Acoustic guitars dominated until the 1930s when electric models entered commerce. The classical guitar is a six string wooden instrument. Two thirds of a modern symphony orchestra are string instruments including violins violas cellos and basses. Pianos and harps add strings. The harp is plucked and pianos produce sound with hidden strings struck by hammers.
