When a secondary technique like pizzicato becomes common, music notation needs a commonly recognized way to show that. So bowed string players regularly use pizzicato. Plucking may not sound as clear or bright on a violin as it does on a guitar - thats why the guitar is a guitar - but it doesn’t sound bad, and it provides a nice contrast to bowing. A good example is pizzicato: instruments like the violin and cello are ‘optimized’ for the player to scrape a bow across the strings. If musicians use a certain sound often, it can become an important, if still secondary, aspect of playing technique. Still, some of those secondary sounds are pretty nice too. – is designed to maximize the clarity and volume of the plucked strings. For example, the basic idea on a guitar is to pluck or strum the strings you can tap on the side and it might sound cool, but everything about the instrument – sounding body, fretboard, pegs, etc.
Instrument makers design each instrument with a certain ‘main sound’ in mind.
