    The motion of the bowed string (violin) is very different from the plucked string (guitar) and the struck string (piano). The plucked and struck strings are both initial condition problems; that is the string is given an initial displacement or velocity, after which the string vibration is a transient with the motion decaying with time. The bowed string is a system driven by a self-sustained friction oscillator.
