<!--[[Bout (musical instrument)]] redirects to this section.-->
String instruments can be divided into three groups:
;[[Lute]]s : Instruments that support the strings via a [[Neck (music)|neck]] and a bout (gourd), for instance a guitar, violin, or [[baglama|saz]]
;[[Harp]]s : Instruments that contain the strings within a frame
;[[Zither]]s : Instruments that have the strings mounted on a body, [[frame zither|frame]] or [[tube zither|tube]], such as a [[guqin]], [[cimbalom]], [[autoharp]], [[harpsichord]], [[piano]], or [[valiha]]

It is also possible to divide the instruments into categories focused on how the instrument is played.
