Sound is produced by drawing a bow across one or more strings (which may be stopped by the fingers of the other hand to produce a full range of pitches), by plucking the strings (with either hand), or by a variety of other techniques.

∙ 14y agoThe hair of the bow (the stick) is rubbed with rosin (a sticky powder). When the bow hair moves across a string, the slight stickiness causes the string to vibrate. Heavier pressure on the bow, or a faster bow movement causes a stronger vibration, and therefore a louder sound. The string's vibration is then carried through the bridge and amplified inside the violin's body. The player's fingers stop the string at different lengths to produce different pitches, which combines with different types of movement of the bow to produce different variations on the basic sounds.

∙ 14y agoThere are many ways that one can make sounds on a violin, which also includes viola, cello, and bass.
One way is to tap the body of the instrument, however wanted.
You can use the bow and play on the strings.
Use the hard part of the bow and tap the strings either in front of or behind the bridge (holds the strings up).
To make different tones on the violin, though, you place your fingers on the strings and press down on the 'black thingy' called the fingerboard.

∙ 13y agoWell the body of the violin is made out of wood, so when a string is plucked the wood vibrates and that's how the instrument makes its beautiful sounds. Same with all the other string instruments like the cello, viola, and bass. But it's different if the instrument is an electric one. If it is then there is a little microphone inside it which sends the sound to some wires which sends it to the big amp. Without the amp, there very very very little sound coming out. i hope this helped you.

The Vibration of the string when the bow slides across it causes a sound wave that is amplified by the wooden box. Its only the combination of these that make the sound - not any one of them.

Can electric violin produce sound without an amp?
It depends on your electric violin. A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin. A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
