No, but a cello is the perfect string bass for an accordion. Works with it beautifully.
Elizabeth Moon

Occasionally, when I run into a great bass backstage at a festival I'll play a few notes on the low E string, just to feel the instrument vibrate against my belly.
Steve Swallow

One is that you have to take time, lots of time, to let an idea grow from within. The second is that when you sign on to something, there will be issues of trust, deep trust, the way the members of a string quartet have to trust one another.
Yo-Yo Ma

One of the basic things about a string is that it can vibrate in many different shapes or forms, which gives music its beauty.
Edward Witten

Pianists don't argue too much generally because we have such a hard time just getting things right; arguing is for string players.
Emanuel Ax

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records.
Duncan Sheik

So when you ask me how string theory might be tested, I can tell you what's likely to happen at accelerators or some parts of the theory that are likely to be tested.
Edward Witten

Sometimes string figures were used to illustrate stories, as in the case of an Eskimo example that depicts a man catching a salmon. Sometimes they had magic or religious significance.
Louis Leakey

Spreading out the particle into a string is a step in the direction of making everything we're familiar with fuzzy. You enter a completely new world where things aren't at all what you're used to.
Edward Witten

String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string's vibration determines the nature of its effect.
Roy H. Williams

String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string.
Edward Witten

Such Roots as are soft, your best way is to dry in the Sun, or else hang them up in the Chimney corner upon a string; as for such as are hard you may dry them any where.
Nicholas Culpeper

Supposing everyone lived at one time what would they say. They would observe that stringing string beans is universal.
Gertrude Stein

Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions.
Edward Witten

That's the only way to do it. Just like an actor. You can get a great performance if you do a bunch of takes and edit it. You find the moments and string them together.
Lindsey Buckingham

The bottom string is tuned to an open G.
Jules Shear

The Detroit String Quartet played Brahms last night. Brahms lost.
Bennett Cerf

The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice.
Andres Segovia

The human race is intoxicated with narrow victories, for life is a string of them like pearls that hit the floor when the rope breaks, and roll away in perfection and anarchy.
