Yes only few very very rare though. much rarer then the full sizes as they did not make many its highly collectable if original
Stradivari used what most of the masters used, maple for back sides neck and scroll, and spruce for the top. He did apparently engage in some experimentation as a very few of his instruments had the back sides and scroll made of poplar. I found this in the book: "Antonio Stradivari, His Life and Work: 1644-1737By William Henry Hill, Arthur Frederick Hill, Alfred Ebsworth Hill
Nicoló Amati was Antonio Stradivari's teacher
Manufactured in the Friedrich August Glass workshop (Germany), these violins are most likely a 19th century copy of the Stradivari violin. Although it is of decent quality, its value is not going to make you a rich person by any means if you sold it.
It sounds like an instrument. It plays notes. It's a violin. Go look at violin solos.
No. The Stradivari family were strictly stringed instrument makers. There is a Stradivarius line of trumpets from the Vincent Bach Corporation, but these are not connected to the famous family (other than borrowing the name).

No Eli Whitney did not invent the violin, but Eli Whitney did make his own violin when he was 12 years old.
There have been hundreds if not thousands of violin makers, each at different levels. Some violins are made right off of a machine, where the body, pegs, and chin rest are occasionally made partially or completely of plastic. These violins cost very little because they resonate a muted or 'tinney' sound. On the other end of the spectrum, there are some hand made violins that sell for millions of dollars. One of the most incredible violin makers of all time was Antonio Stradivari, whose few surviving 200+ year old instruments are those easily worth many millions of dollars because he knew how to make his instruments have the most vibrant and perfect tone. Makers of every level in between continue to make and sell their instruments all over the world.
The violin is used to make music to people's ear's.
The violin doesn't, the violinist makes the music.
The viola was never "invented", as such, rather a process of evolving ways of carving wood into a shape to make a nice sound. Its history is longer than the violin's, as originally the violin was viewed a a small viola, hence the ending "ino" [in italian] in violino, translated to violin.
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.
The wood used to make the front of a violin is well seasoned maple.
