Making a beautiful sound with string and bow takes years of practice, as anyone with a violin-playing neighbour or a beginner in the household will know. But violins, violas, cellos and double basses can all sound so beautiful if you just pluck on them! That's what this list is for. A playlist to heal all those plagued by the sound of strings being scratched and scraped, a compilation to honour all pluckers, a tribute to the pizzicato!
