This is a glossary of chordophones. It can include any stringed instrument, or any musical instrument that produces sound through one or more vibrating strings.

This glossary only includes the names of actual instruments. It does not include playing techniques, bows or plectrums, music genres or anything other than the names of instruments. It does not comprehensively include families or types of instruments -- only specific instruments -- but some families of instruments are listed because they are also used as the name of a specific instrument from within that family.

This appendix does not generally include translations, but in English writing foreign words are often used to describe instruments. Some instruments do not have a direct English translation. This appendix does cover such foreign words and any other non-English terminology that can be helpful to understand writing about music and musical instruments.

See also the glossary of musical instrument classification (organology).
