More than half the orchestra is Strings. They are Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double basses and the Harp.
Using the fingers one one hand the musician presses down on the strings (there are 4 of these) and with the other hand a bow is used to stroke the strings. sometimes the String musician will pluck the strings with fingers.this is called pizzicato.
the harp is always plucked with fingers.
