gently raving between the strings...
This would be my attempt.
Of course, depends on what the instrument is, as has been pointed out in the discussion section.
As for gently raving or raving gently, I would leave that up to you, to figure out the most poetic way. I reckon with adverb first, there is a certain focus on how the action is performed rather than the other way round. Also 'between' the strings... I'd leave that up to you.
