Individual string instruments are much quieter than the other families of instruments playing in an orchestra. So the string section has to reinforce their sound by having multiple instruments playing the same part. It is also true that the lower in pitch the range of a string instrument is, the louder it is (to human ears) thus the violins need more instruments per part than the violas, who need more instruments per part than the cellos, who in turn need more instruments per part than the double basses, who only need a few more instruments per part than the remaining instruments of the wind and brass sections

Also, there are 2 parts or 3 different parts, first violins, second violins and sometimes and rarely 3rd violins but usually instead of 3rd violins there are violas. The two parts play different notes causing a different variety of music than a few violins would provide.

Depends on what you want to do with it. You can't play violin in a marching band.

Answer

Each instument has its place in an orchestra. The violin is mostly for the melody of a piece of music, while the trumpet is used as a sort of fill in along with the other instruments, together they make up the whole of the piece. Years ago the trumpet played a big part in what we call The Big Band era i.e Glen Miller , Joe Loss, Benny Goodman and so on.

When you hear a quintet of trumpets the sound can blow your mind with their brassy notes. While the same number of violins, each playing its assigned notes is heaven sent. As played as solo instuments each has its own attraction for the listener. Each has the power to please the ear.

The bow makes the string vibrate. The vibrations are transferred through the bridge to the instrument top. Vibrations are transferred from the top to the back side through a sound post. So, pretty much the whole body vibrates.

One significant change was the addition of the chinrest. In the early era of music (e.g. baroque era), the violin was placed somewhat below the collarbone. Gradually, as violin technique changed, the chinrest was added so the violinist could hold the violin between his chin and shoulder.

Other changes include the shape of the f-holes in the violin, the shape of the body of the violin, and the curvature of the violin bow.

There are 4 types of violin, the violin (of course) the viola, the cello, and the bass. But you can view it from a different angle, there is a 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and a full violin, electric violin, and the Chinese violin which is called erhu

The viola, cello and bass are not types of violins, they are separate instruments. They also can be found in 1/16, 1/10, 1/8, 7/8 and the 2/4 is referred to as a 1/2. The Erhu is also a separate instrument. So really there is only two kind of violins, the acoustic and electric.
