In addition, there are a number of techniques that produce sound effects rather than musical notes, for example, striking the board of the pipa for a percussive sound, or strings-twisting while playing that produces a cymbal-like effect. The strings are usually tuned to A 2 D 3 E 3 A 3, although there are various other ways of tuning. Since the ...

Struck string instruments (such as the piano) can be similarly plucked as an extended technique. Plucked string instruments are not a category in the Sachs-Hornbostel classification, aside from 335 and 336 , as some of them are simple chordophones and others are composite (depending on whether the resonator is the removable part of the instrument).
