		A violin typically consists of a spruce top, maple ribs and back, two endblocks, a neck, a bridge, a soundpost, four strings, and various fittings, optionally including a chinrest, which may attach directly over, or to the left of, the tailpiece.
		Violins are tuned by turning the pegs in the pegbox under the scroll, or by adjusting the fine tuner screws at the tailpiece.
		A violin is usually played using a bow consisting of a stick with a ribbon of horsehair strung between the tip and frog (or nut, or heel) at opposite ends.

	Violin
		The violin, the most commonly used member of the modern string family, is the highest-sounding instrument of that group.
		The overall length of the violin averages about 60 cm (23.5 in), whereas the sounding length of the strings, from bridge to the nut at the end of the fingerboard, is about 32 cm (12.75 in).
		Although the basic construction of the violin has been long established, the subtle variations which make an outstanding violin are the stuff of legend.

	Violin
		The violin is usually held under the chin and supported by the left shoulder, often assisted by a shoulder rest.
		Needless to say, the violin immediately became very popular, both among street-musicians and the nobility, illustrated by the fact that the French king Charles IX ordered Amati to build a whole orchestra in the second half of the 16th century.
		The violin is used as a solo instrument in jazz, though it is a relative rarity in this genre; compared to other instruments, like saxophone, trumpet, piano and guitar, the violin appears fairly infrequently.

		The violin is played by using the right hand to draw the bow at right angles across one of the strings, near the bridge, causing the string to vibrate.
		Violin players practice long hours partly to train their fingers to land in the right places, and partly to cultivate the ability to correct the pitch very rapidly as it is played.
		Indeed, the violin seems to lend itself to virtuosity more than any other instrument (its only plausible rival is the piano), and top violinists have amazed their audiences with their wizardry since the 17th century.

	Violin concerto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A violin concerto is a concerto for solo violin (occasionally, two or more violins) and instrumental ensemble, customarily orchestra.
		In some violin concertos, especially from the Baroque and modern eras, the violin (or group of violins) is accompanied by a chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra—for instance, Vivaldi's L'estro armonico, originally scored for four violins, two violas, cello, and continuo, and Allan Pettersson's first concerto, for violin and string quartet.

		The violin, which developed from its primitive form of fiddler’s instrument to accompany singing and dancing, reached an unequalled level of perfection in only a few decades.
		The violin indeed was to prove itself both as a solo and as a concert instrument.
		It is no easy task to speak equitably of the immensely rich history of the violin, nor of its music and its masters.

	Violin acoustics: an introduction
		It is the bridge and body of the acoustic violin that transmit some of the vibration of the strings into sound in the air.
		Of both the violin and the guitar, we might say that the lowest resonance (associated with the Helmholtz resonance) falls near the pitch of the second lowest string, and the lowest body mode falls near the pitch of the third lowest.
		In the violin, all of the sound energy that is produced by the body originally comes from energy put into the string by the bow.

		The words "violin" and "fiddle" come from the same Middle Latin vitula, but "violin" came through the Romance languages, meaning small viola, and "fiddle" through Germanic languages.
		The bridge is a carefully carved piece of maple, having several purposes: its top curve holds the strings at the proper height from the fingerboard in an arc allowing each to be sounded separately by the bow.
		Sometimes the composer or arranger will specify the string to be used in order to achieve the desired tone quality; this is indicated in the music by the marking, for example, sul G, meaning to play on the G string.

	Violin FAQ
		While, oddly enough, the question of refitting the violin comes up rather often, this is, naturally, a separate issue from someone who is merely left-handed and wants to study the violin with a traditional hold.
		With the violin literature, I know every crook and cranny of the etude repertoire that students need to master; in the chamber music literature, I'm familiar with all these beloved works that anyone who had studied as long as this, would naturally know.
		You could play violin etudes all week without learning that the instrument has a third string (slight exaggeration only!), thus without playing much in the register that is the bread-and-butter, most highly characteristic part of the viola's range.

		I bought this violin for my nephew as a beginner's violin and was quite pleased with the value for the price, and it was an affordable way for him to have his own instrument and not have to rent or use a second-hand one.
		But when I took it to my violin teacher, she said that it was natural for a violin to not hold its tune at first.
		Other than that flaw the violin is perfect for young kids since it is a very durable violin and not to mention cheap, and always remember the violin doesn't make the music as much as the violinist makes the violin make music.
