For the guitar and harp, strings are set into vibration by plucking; for the other stringed instruments the vibration is usually initiated and maintained by bowing. The frequency of vibration is primarily established by the length, tension, and mass per unit length of the string. A string vibrates not only at the lowest (fundamental) frequency, but also at the same time at higher frequencies which tend toward integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. The sound radiated from the instrument is thus complex.
The radiation of sound from a stringed instrument is enhanced by a resonator consisting of an almost closed air cavity. Some of the energy of the vibrating string is transmitted via the bridge to the walls of the cavity. In a carefully constructed violin the resonances of the air cavity and its vibrating walls are distributed in frequency in order to afford a relatively uniform response throughout the playing range of the instrument.

Well, Violin and Viola are played the same way. . . then there’s Cello, Bass, and Harp which are all played differently.
If you mean symphony that’s about 3 more sections of ways to play. . .
I don’t think you can classify it into just 2.
