What is the difference between viola and violin bridge?
The bridge of a violin does the same thing as the bridges of most other stringed instruments, including the piano, guitar, uke, bass, harpsicord, crwd, etc. It raises the strings from the soundboard or resonating chamber, and it also transfers the vibrating energy of the string to the soundboard or resonating chamber. In the case of bowed instruments like the violin, it also places the strings along an arc (the upper edge of the bridge) so that they are not co-planar. If they were co-planar, you could never get the bow to make one string resonate while leaving the others untouched.
How does a violin produce music?
A violin produces music when the horse hair part of the bow has rosin on it and is is rubbed agaisnt the string, thin to thicker peices of metal. To make different pitches of music, the violinist places his fingers along the finger board on the string. To make pizzacato- or plucking noises- one has to pluck the string with his fingers. Happy making music! Pressure and vibration - generally with both hands and all fingers working in co-ordination with one another produce music. The lower the finger tips press down on the strings of the violin the high the pitch will be on each note produced from each of the four strings. The strings can be strung on the violin from the keys at the top of the neck over the bridge on the base to the very bottom of the instrument. Piccicato is plucking the strings with the fingers. You can bounce the back of the bow- the wooden part off the strings to create a neat sound like in Ravel's Bolero!

On guitar, slides are when you play a note/chord and drag your finger(s) along the entirety, or a portion of the fretboard to cause a 'sliding' sound either ascending or descending through every note in between to two desired notes. Basically it's just sliding your hand on the strings to make noise.
What types of engry is playin a violin?
Well your using kinetic energy to pluck, drawing the bow across the strings etc. Sound energy of course from the strings when they are played. Heat energy dissipated from the two mentioned above along with that lil bit of friction where bow meets string. I THINK. I am not the most knowledgable in these areas.
What is a viollin?
A violin is a stringed, wooden musical instrument. It is played by tucking one end under the chin, and drawing a bow of wood and horsehair (though, I believe, other materials are used nowadays in place of horse hair) across the strings. By placing finger tips along the arm of the violin, the different musical notes are produced.
