Usually oak or cherry wood... Special substances were put on the outside by Antonio Stradivari to preserve it and to improve the sound quality.

How long is a 44 violin?

The size of a Violin is measured by the size of the body only. A 4/4 ("Full Size") Violin tends to have a body size of around 14 inches. As violin sizes are non-standardized, this size will vary depending on who made the violin, when it was made and where.


Which parts of a violin are made out of pine?

What are violins made out of?

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.


When was the violin first made?

Where can you find a picture of the first violin ever made?

The first violin made was by Andrea Amati in 1555. There are a few violins of his from that year that would be the actual first violin. A search of "violin Amati 1555" would give you pictures of these instruments.Interestingly, the first instrument in the violin family was not the violin. It was the viola!

Can electric violin produce sound without an amp?

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.
