Equations of motion of a vibrating string are established in terms of the transverse and longitudinal displacements. These equations contain the terms of lowest order which are neglected in the classical treatment with vanishing amplitude. These extra terms lead to the natural modes being dependent on amplitude. By a simple procedure a solution of these equations is obtained which separates, as in the classical theory. The familiar circular functions are replaced by a Mathiew Function of position and a Jacobi elliptic function of time. Agreement with a previous study is shown.
