History of the Violin
The violin was first discovered in Northern Italy in the 16th century, where it has evolved and developed over time by the enhancements of various master luthiers including Stradivari and Guarneri. The violin continues to have a global impact, where it is a staple in orchestras worldwide, where the first chair violin player is often seen as one of the most important members of the orchestra alongside the conductor, assisting in leading the entire symphony.
Materials and Construction
Building the violin is a very precise process that uses common materials like maple, spruce, and or ebony, depending on the type. The instrument has a curved shaped body with f-shaped holes, a neck, and a fingerboard with strings. A standard violin has 4 strings but there are other types like electric violins and five string violins that may have more. The violin works through strumming on the strings using a bow to create a sound or through plucking the strings. The f holes on the top of the violin help to transmit vibration throughout the body of the violin that allows for its rich tone. Generally, when the hole in an instrument is of a f shape, it allows the sound to reach the listener’s ear in a more graceful manner since the hole is more slender and curved, allowing for more air to escape.
