A violin can also be played in a rock band or a band of some other kind, for example, Yellowcard use violins in their music. A violin is also a great solo instrument. Itzhak Perlman is a prime example of this.
Violins are among the most commonly played instruments, and are used in all sorts of music. They are widely used in Folk Music, appearing frequently in Celtic music, Appalachian, Zydeco, and so on. They are commonly used, played viol-style, in North African music. They are used in Jazz, where they frequently have distinct styles, such as that of Stephane Grappelli. They are used in popular music, such as the Beetles' or Queen. They are often used in Country and Western. Really, they can be used for just about any sort of music.
