When the bow is rubbed against the strings, microscopic hairs on the hair of the bow create immense friction with the string. This causes the string to vibrate rapidly. The vibrating string, in turn, causes the violin to vibrate.

∙ 14y agoThere are two predominant ways to create vibration on a violin's strings:
1) Pizzicato - Plucking of the strings with a finger will cause the strings to vibrate and generate a sound
2) Arco - Bowing of the strings with the hair on a bow will have the same effect, but the sound will be sustained as long as the bow remains in contact with the string

∙ 13y agoThey vibrate because when you slide the ~bow~ across the strings it makes them vibrate or go like this. but u will have to make the bow let go of the violen to make it vibrate

∙ 11y agoThe friction of the bow on the string causes the soundposts inside the violin to vibrate, which in turn causes the pitch to resonate through the f-holes.

Violin after done playing should you let the bridge down?
no, the tension the strings keep on the bridge keep the sound post up: if you let the bridge down, you risk breaking the bridge, the strings, and making the sound post fall down
What will tightening the strings on a violin will do?
It depends if the violin is flat you tighten the pegs. I f it is too sharp then you loosen the pegs.
How does a violin generate sound?
A violin works just like every other string instrument, so this applies to all of them. The bow, which is pulled across the strings, is made most often of horsehair. Because the horse hair is coarse, it catches on the strings. Rosin is used to help it catch, as rosin is sticky. The bow pulls across the string, causing it to vibrate. When you place a finger down, you shorten the string, causing the vibration to get smaller and higher. The strings are stretched across a wooden structure called a bridge. It connects the strings to the body, so the vibrations can be amplified within in. There are also sound posts withing the violin, under the bridge, to help transfer the vibrations to the back of the violin, so the sound coats the entirety of the violin. The sound is then released through the F-holes, and also straight from the string. That is about how a violin works. There is a lot more physics involved, but very complicated.
What the sound of violin?
It can make a high or low sound with the different strings. If you look up on a website called youtube, you might want to try searching in the search box, and type 'violin' (without the quotations of course). You will see what it sound like. Unless you cannot hear very well, it makes a similar type of ringing noise, almost.
What is the best way to amplify a violin?
the part that amplifies the sound is the body of it. the sound waves vibrate the ody which gives off a loud sound. the laurge sound comes out of the curly holes / slits at the front of the violin.
How does a violin make a noise?
When the bow is stroked across the strings, they vibrate and the sound travels into the f-holes and bounce off against the sound post, which is a wooden stick standing up from floor to ceiling of the inside of the violin. This then travels throughout the inside of the violin, causing vibration.

What is a violin's middle?
The main bit is the body, the bit of wood that holds up the strings is the bridge. those are in the middle of the violin, but can you be more specific?
How do strings work?
you hit them and they vibrate which causes an echo to go up the neck of the guitar and into the body.

How do guitar strings work?
you hit them and they vibrate which causes an echo to go up the neck of the guitar and into the body.
Can someone restring a violin to be a viola?
Well, no because it'll only end up being a violin... and the only difference between a viola and a violin is it's strings and the size of it for the note pitch.... Well the thing is that for people that aren't commfortable with the violin finger board, they usually have a viola, but there is violin strings. Which means that you are playing the violin all thought the body and shape is the viola. So you can use violin strings on a viola.
What was the violin originally constructed from?
Violin is originated from Italy. During medieval times, violinâ??s neck is shorter, broader with a minimum of angle. For the fingerboard it was a lot like shorter, strings are made up of plain gut strings and the bridge was low.
In what direction does the medium vibrate?
It vibrates up and down.
