OCR: STRING PLUCK STRING TUNING PEG When you bow, pluck, or strike a string, it vibrates; these vibrations move the surrounding air, creating a note. If you lengthen a string, it vibrates more slowly, and lowers the pitch of the note. A looser string, or a string wrapped in wire to make it heavier, also plays a lower-pitched note.
