Deep dives
Stringed instruments vibrate to create sound waves
Stringed instruments produce sound by vibrating strings, which in turn create wiggly sound waves that travel through the air to be heard. The volume of the sound is determined by the size of the waves, with larger waves producing louder sounds and smaller waves resulting in softer sounds.
