Best Answer

It depends on which instrument you're talking about.

For example, a Bass Guitar has 4 strings while a regular guitar has 6. Violins all have 4 strings, whether they are bass or not. Each musical instrument will have its own number of strings depending on what sort of instrument it is.

The usual number varies with the instrument. Violins and ukuleles have four.

Guitars usually have six, but some have as many as 11. Mandolins usually have 8 strings but some have 12 or 16. Banjos have 4 or 5.

What is the relation between the length of the string of stringed instruments and pitch of the note the string produces?

The shorter you make a string, the higher the pitch will be. You can notice that as someone plays the guitar, and they slide their fingers toward the body, the pitch gets higher. If you loosen a peg on a stringed instrument to elongate the string, the pitch drops because the frequency (how many vibrations per second) decreases.
