Is there a difference between a mandolin and a violin or is it the selfsame instrument but played in a different way?
Yes, there is a difference. A mandolin is a lute-like instrument, played like a guitar: http://www.answers.com/topic/mandolin?cat=entertainment A violin is a stringed instrument, played with a bow: http://www.answers.com/topic/violin?cat=entertainment However, just as there are four members of the violin family - the violin, viola, cello/violoncello and double bass, there are four basic members of the mandolin family which bear some relation to the violin family's relationships. These are as follows: * mandolin, with a range similar to that of the violin * mandola or tenor mandola, tuned to a fifth below the mandolin, meaning it has the same relationship as a viola to a violin * mandocello or mandolin cello * mando-bass, which is tuned like a double bass There are also several other mandolins in the mandolin family, such as the octave mandolin, the piccolo or sopranino mandolin, and several other variants of the mandolin from other countries.

Can you play piano music on violin?
AnswerThe violin plays some of the same notes as the piano, however all notes on the piano can not be played on the violin. Additionally, there are notes that are played on violin that cannot be played on the piano, e.g. micro-tones, quarter-tones, etc. The violin also has a more diverse set of techniques to manipulate sound, including pizzicato (or the plucking of the string), ponticello, and col legno (playing with the wood of the bow).yes, it is the same note for piano my teacher said it was the same noteslav it!

What is mandolins' kin?
the mandolin family is much like that of the violin; There is the mandolin, the highest pitched in the family The Mandola, lower than the mandolin and tuned the same a a viola The Mandocello, as the name suggest similar to a cello tuning A mando- bass which is, again obvious, much like a double bass. There is also the octave-mandolin which is tuned exactly the same as a mandolin, just and octave lower. There is also, arguable, the Irish Bouzouki which is derived from a greek bouzuki as a pose to the lute (which the other mandolins are derived from). However, it has a flat back and is tuned in fifths so many now see it as another branch of the mandolin family.
If you can play a violin what other instruments can you play?
Many students change from violin to other stringed instruments like viola, cello, or string bass. The mandolin is tuned the same as the violin, so it's often easy for violinists to pick up. If you have been playing violin for some time, you may find it difficult to change to transposing instruments.
