What call the stick of violin?

I believe the violin stick you are talking about is called a bow. Usually bows are made out of wood and horsehair. When the horsehair is drawn across the string, the violin will produce sound (if rosin is on the horsehair). The wood of the bow basically keeps the horsehair tight and provides a place for the musician to grip the bow. I hope this answers your question.


How do you choose a violin case?

Just find one that fits the violin shape, and slots for one or two bows. Also find pockets for rosin, and other items used for the violin, like a shoulder rest.
