    A note is commonly bent to a higher pitch on fretted instruments literally by bending the string with excess finger pressure, and to a lower pitch on harmonica (a free-reed aerophone) by altering the vocal tract to shift the resonance of the reed. [10] On brass instruments such as the trumpet, the note is bent by using the lip.

In string skipping (as the name implies), a string is ...
