	Musical Instruments - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Musical Instruments, tools used to expand the limited scope of musical sounds—such as clapping, stamping, whistling, humming, and singing—that can be produced by a person's unaided body.
		The technique of bowing is not so old as that of plucking, and fiddles, or bowed lutes (such as the violin and viol) arrived in Europe from Asia only in the Middle Ages.
		The violin and its relatives—at first associated with country dance music and considered inferior to the quieter, more sedate viola da gamba (viol)—became supreme during the 18th century (and earlier in Italy) because viols were less well suited to the highly dramatic style of late baroque and classical music.

		Fine modern bows used to play orchestral string instruments of the violin family (the violin, viola, cello and double bass) are usually made of Pernambuco wood from Brazil and are strung with horse-hair.

		When the player pulls the bow across the strings, it is called a downbow; pushing in the direction of the tip is an upbow (the directions "down" and "up" are literally descriptive for violins and violas, and are employed in analogous fashion for the cello).
