My music teacher told us to research the string section of the orchestra, and said to research violin viola cello double bass and harp! does that answer your question? i think it's percussion. the definition of percussion is something that you pluck or hit. from Bexa maintube Registered User Registered: 5/26/2004 posted: 1/7/2005 at 1:21:34 PM ET I consider the harp as a string instrument, although some people do consider it percussion. Mystik Registered User Registered: 12/12/2004 posted: 1/7/2005 at 7:04:15 PM ET If a percussion instrument is one that you pluck or hit, a double bass could be considered a percussion instrument by that definition. maintube Registered User Registered: 5/26/2004 posted: 1/7/2005 at 11:21:44 PM ET Well you don't pluck or hit a Celesta, but it is in the percussion family. I don't consider the harp a percussion instrument, but some do. Do you think this topic is inappropriate? Vote it down.
