Abstract
Friction instruments are those whose mechanism of sound production includes a process of sticking and slipping one thing onto another. We have discussed some of them already below. The most popular are violin, cello, and their family members of bowed musical instruments, where the hair of a bow is gliding over a string in a process of constant sticking and slipping. Still, there are many others.
