The violin, also known as the fiddle, is a string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family, which also includes the viola, cello, and double bass. The violin is held under the chin and played with a bow, although it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers. The instrument is typically made of wood, with a body, neck, fingerboard, and strings. The body is usually made of spruce or maple, while the fingerboard is made of ebony or rosewood. The strings are made of gut, nylon, or synthetic materials. The violin is used in a wide range of musical genres, including classical, folk, and jazz. It is also a popular instrument for solo performances and in orchestras. The violin has a long history, dating back to the 16th century, and has been played by many famous musicians throughout history.
