The Violin

The violin is a string instrument known for its rich, expressive sound. It has four strings stretched over a wooden body, which amplifies vibrations produced when a bow is drawn across the strings or when the strings are plucked. The player uses their fingers to change the pitch by pressing on the strings and varies the tone with bowing techniques. Constructed from fine woods, the violin's design allows for a wide range of dynamics and emotional expression. It is a central instrument in many musical genres, from classical to folk, valued for its versatility and beautiful tone.
