Apart from the differences in the parts that they play in the orchestra, no, the first and second violins do not look or sound any different. They are the same instrument. Generally, the first violins play the higher parts (including the melody), and the second violins play the lower parts and the harmony.

What is the highest stringed instrument in an orchistra?
The violin is the highest instrument in a string orchestra. The violins are divided into two sections (1st violins and 2nd violins), the 1st violins usually play the tune and play higher than the 2nd violins. However, the piccolo is the highest instrument in a full orchestra. The difference between a string orchestra and a full orchestra is that the string orchestra has only stringed instruments while a full orchestra has strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
How many sections of violins are usually in an orchestra?
Most orchestral music is written for 1st and 2nd violins, or two sections. Sometimes those parts might be divided further, but that doesn't count as separate sections.
How many violins are there usually in an orchestra?
In a Full Orchestra, usually about 32-40 in total, depending on the distribution of both the 1st and 2nd violins. Many full professional orchestras do 20 1st violins and 20 second violins, adding up to 40 violin to produce a full powerful sound. My youth orchestra does 16 per section, which adds up to 32 violins in total.On the other hand, some smaller orchestras (such as chamber ensembles) may only have less than 16 violins per section.There is no specified quantity that must be used at all times. Actually, theres many different numbers of violins that a orchistra may have!There is no set amount. How ever many violins get in is how many there are.There is one violin in an orchestra. but there is a Cello ,and a viola in an orchestra and they look like violins :)probably around 34...........give or take a few.as my final answer:30 TO 3422 violins are in a orchestra i am i the orchestra and 4 time state camapionsThe number of violinists in an orchestra has grown over the musical eras. Classical era orchestras had 16 violinists (8 1st violinists, 8 2nd violinists). Early romantic era orchestras had 26 violinists (14 1st violinists, 12 2nd violinists). Later romantic era orchestras 32 violinists (16 1st violinists, 16 2nd violinists). Modern era orchestras, however, have a decreased number (since the last period): 30 violinists (16 1st violinists, 14 2nd violinists). Note that these are just averages. Chamber orchestras might have less to create a more intimate sound and often, orchestras use a different number of violinists as they perform different era pieces.Well in a Symphonic Orchestra or Philharmonic Orchestra it's between 12 and 30. With a two to one ratio for violas and violoncellos and 4 to one for double basses for the rest of the strings section.lnbdflheo;hjapsnj dfjbyop j;pkgb;nlae dfljt;jkmbdnlzxmt4;2k pzdfmgl owerjp5jkr3;pjk
Why does the number of violins in an orchestra vary?
Because unlike winds and brass in which there is a set number of parts, i.e. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trumpet, the 1st and 2nd violin parts only very generally convey the composer's means, and most composers will say a large or small string section depending on what they have in mind, but composers rarely have a set number of string parts in their head, as opposed to winds or brass because violins don't carry as well in the context of the orchestra. Background (kinda): There can be anywhere from 1 to like 100 violin players in an orchestra. There are usually 2 parts (1st and 2nd violin) and they split it half 1st half 2nd. Sometimes there are like 5 different violin parts. Actual answer: The reason they vary is generally because of how many people are in the orchestra and they just split it. Also it is because of how loud the conductor wants the violins to be
What is the difference between violin 1 and violin 2?
Violin 1 and 2 are roughly equal sized sections of the orchestra, each made up of (usually) 12-16 violinists. The concertmaster (lead violinist) sits at the front of the first violins). The 1st violin section usually carries the melody, whereas the 2nd violins usually accompany. This is however not always the case. Sometimes the 2nd violins play the 1st violin part but one octave below. The relationship between the two sections varies from composer to composer. For example in Johann Strauss, the 2nd violins usually provide the waltz rhythm, and the 1st violins carry the melody. However in Elgar (for example), they are often on equal terms and a lot of role reversal occurs where the 2nds have the tune and 1sts accompany. A good concluding remark would be that there is no less a difference between the two sections than there is between strings and woodwind for example, except that they employ the same instrument.

Which part of violin produce melody?
There is no such thing as a certain "part" of the violin that produces a melody. The melody of a song can be played by any instrument- the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass, the winds, or even the occasional percussion. The Melody of a song is the main part of a song. Usually, if referring to JUST THE VIOLINS, the 1st Violins normally play the melody, and the 2nd Violins usually play the Harmony.
