Bows with one string appeared from the late Upper Paleolithic or the Mesolithic onwards. It is not known whether they were first used as hunting bows or musical bows. The oldest depictions of a musical bow come from 15,000-year-old cave drawings. Musical bows are considered the archetypes of all stringed instruments and can be developed into harps and lyres.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6fd2e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6fd2e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The musical bow consists of a flexible wooden stick with a string or a piece of gut pulled around the ends to tighten the stick into a bow. Plucked with a small stick or the fingers, the musical bow produces several fundamental and overtones, which can be amplified by a resonating body such as a calabash. The further development of musical bows led to stick zithers, such as harps and lyres, as well as idiochord bamboo tube zithers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79874dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79874dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>String instruments are relatively young compared to other instruments. The first references to making music with a bow date back 15,000 years to cave paintings. Plucked stringed instruments probably consisted of a flexible wooden bow with a taut gut or string. The sound was created by plucking. Over the course of time, the instruments were further developed to amplify the sound with sound bodies. This gave rise to the well-known and popular plucked and stringed instruments such as the guitar, <a title=\"Cello\" href=\"https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/en\/musical-instruments\/violoncello-cello\/\">\n  <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\n    <strong>cello<\/strong>\n  <\/span>\n<\/a> and ukulele.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14127fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14127fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Different stringed instruments have developed in different cultures.

When playing, the string tension directly influences the physical properties of the strings, resulting in a characteristic, floating sound.

In instruments without a resonating body, such as solid-body electric guitars, only a small proportion of the vibrational energy is converted into sound.
