There are 4 types of violin, the violin (of course) the viola, the cello, and the bass. But you can view it from a different angle, there is a 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and a full violin, electric violin, and the Chinese violin which is called erhu
The viola, cello and bass are not types of violins, they are separate instruments. They also can be found in 1/16, 1/10, 1/8, 7/8 and the 2/4 is referred to as a 1/2. The Erhu is also a separate instrument. So really there is only two kind of violins, the acoustic and electric.
There are seven standard sizes: 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32. 4/4 (called a "full size") is the largest and is usually an appropriate size for players age 12 and above. Smaller sizes, such as 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32 are used for very small, very young players.
There are more than 45,000 kinds of violins in the world.

Violins come in seven different sizes (1/16,1/10,1/8,1/4,1/2,3/4, and 4/4 or a full-size violin.
The VIOLIN, VIOLA & CELLO developed from medieval instruments called VIOLS which came in a number of sizes. By the 17th Century, composers were writing specifically for members of the VIOLIN family as their sound was clearer, sweeter and LOUDER!
The size of a Violin is measured by the size of the body only. A 4/4 ("Full Size") Violin tends to have a body size of around 14 inches. As violin sizes are non-standardized, this size will vary depending on who made the violin, when it was made and where.
Four octaves can be played on the violin.
Yes only few very very rare though. much rarer then the full sizes as they did not make many its highly collectable if original

There are many different sizes of violins. The needed size of violin depends on the players arm length (which gets longer as they grow up). From small to large, some of the more common violin sizes range from 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 4/4 or whole size, and any larger are custom made violins.
To get the size you need, just put the chin rest of a violin under your chin as you would if you were about to play. Then stretch out the arm you use to hold the violin straight out. If the violin's scroll reaches your wrist, it's the size for you.

I think that the violin are used in so many cultures because a lot of people used to play the violin. Also a long time ago they used to make the violin out of wood and used in orchestras and choirs.
