Koskettavista

Koskettavista is a term used to describe a type of musical instrument that is played by striking or plucking its strings with the fingers. The term is derived from the Finnish word "kosketin," which means "to touch." Koskettavista instruments are characterized by their ability to produce a wide range of sounds and timbres, making them versatile tools for musicians.

The most well-known koskettavista instrument is the piano, which is played by pressing keys that cause hammers to strike strings. Other examples include the harpsichord, which is played by plucking strings with quills, and the guitar, which is played by strumming or plucking strings with the fingers. These instruments are often used in classical, jazz, and popular music genres.

Koskettavista instruments are valued for their expressiveness and the ability to produce both soft and loud sounds. They are also known for their portability, as many can be easily carried and played in various settings. The term "koskettavista" is not widely used in English, but it provides a useful way to categorize and understand these instruments.
