violin

A violin is a stringed musical instrument, typically made of wood, known for its expressive sound and versatility across various music genres. It has four strings, which are tuned in perfect fifths, and is played with a bow or by plucking the strings (pizzicato). The violin is a central instrument in orchestras and chamber music, as well as popular music. Its design includes a hollow body that amplifies sound, and its range can produce both high melodies and deep tones, making it a favorite for solo performances and ensembles.
