-The '''Strings [[page type is::skill]]''' is trained when you {{com|play}} musical stringed instruments. Stringed instruments produce sound when tautly-drawn strings are plucked, bowed or strummed, causing them to vibrate.  This class of instruments includes zithers and lyres (strummed), fiddles and violins (bowed) and harps (plucked). They are the creation of the goddess [[Faenella]].
-The Strings Skill may only be trained by [[Bards]].  Previous to the [[DR3]] conversion, it was learnable by all classes.
-Bards use string instruments to play certain [[:Category:Bard Enchantes|Enchantes]], and their skill with the instrument can affect their ability to perform the enchante properly.
-String instruments may also be played just to be played, and there are several mood and tone options available. Bards have extra options available to them for playing instruments that are not available to other guilds.
-Bards may also use stringed instruments to create a [[dance floor]] in any performance-worthy space, as long as they meet the Strings skill requirement.  [[Cleric]]s and [[Paladin]]s can gain [[devotion]] or [[soul state]] respectively by flawlessly playing a psalm or hymn for an [[Immortal]] in a holy place.
-==Training==
-The best experience per time ratio is achieved by finding an instrument/song combination that is played "with only the slightest hint of difficulty."
-== Stringed Instruments ==
-Stringed instruments range in size from 10 to 50 stones and can have anywhere from 4 to 24 strings.  Some require a pick or a bow in order to be played and all stringed instruments require tuning as the strings gradually lose tension due to inactivity.
-In addition to a number of hand-held and portable stringed instruments, there are also some stand-alone instruments (such as harpsichords and cellos) available for playing across Elanthia.
