The Third Violin Partita in E major (BWV 1006) is one of the most widely known works of the solo violin’s repertoire existing today. ... Both are a third away from the intended key. ... The manuscript for the keyboard work (BWV 1006a) is in E major, retaining the e to e span of the original violin work. ...
One may speculate however, the knowledge that Bach possessed for the lute, because he is remembered mainly as being a virtuoso on the keyboard, and a possessor of sufficient skills on other stringed instruments such as the violin and cello. ... The notes used do not correspond to the keyboard instrument of Bach’s time…Bach would have surely made many alterations in his arrangement of the violin partita if it were a keyboard piece…The cited characteristics, range, composition, figuration, clearly indicate a plucked instrument…
From this statement it is still unclear what is meant by a plucked instrument.
