Types of Chordophones
• Harps: strings are pulled across a frame (the resonator) and an opening before
being attached to a neck at an acute angle; harps are played by plucking the
strings
• Lutes: strings stretch across a box (the resonator) and up the neck of the
instrument with no open area; lutes are played by plucking or bowing
• Lyres: the strings cross the box of the instrument and then cross an opening
before being attached at right angles to a horizontal neck; lyres are played by
plucking or strumming the strings.
• Musical bows: strings are stretched and attached at each end of a wooden bow;
bows are played by plucking or bowing (using a second bow).
• Zithers: the strings are stretched across the box and attached at either end of the
box with no neck; zithers can be played with or without a keyboard and are
played by strumming or plucking the strings or striking the keys.
