A traditional violin body is of course made of wood. The chin rest is held on the body of the violin using metal, and protective cork underneath the metal, so it will not scratch the violin. There are two different types of violin strings: The first is a synthetic core string which is made from purely man-made materials. The second is the more traditional string, which has a gut core. Typically the gut core strings are made from sheep gut that is streched, and then wrapped in wire. The violin bow can be made from any number of substances, ranging from wood, to carbon fibre. The hairs on the bow are horse tail hairs.
