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

The violin gives an appearance of deceptive simplicity to the eye, but is in fact constructed of some 70 parts, which require the skill of a master craftsman to cut and assemble. Acoustically it is one of the most complex of instruments (see §2(ii) below). The body is a hollow box (fig.1) about 35·5 cm long, consisting of an arched top plate ('belly') and arched back plate, joined by sides ('ribs') of slightly varying heights (a typical Stradivari measurement is 2·8 cm at the top end of the instrument and 3·2 cm at the bottom). The edges of the belly and back are not flush with the ribs as is usual in a viol, but project beyond, overhanging the ribs slightly. The belly is made of softwood, generally European spruce, and the back and sides are fashioned of hardwood, usually maple. The neck, pegbox and scroll are also customarily of maple. The fingerboard runs along the neck and extends over the belly towards the bridge; it is now normally made of ebony. It is unfretted, a feature that distinguishes the violins from the viols.

The scroll is on the top near the pegs. it is that thing that curves at the top

The frog on the violin has had many questions on why it was called that. There has also been varied reasons from people. Some reasons found, were either related to figurative meanings and the making of the bow.

The tool used to make the frog of the bow is a vice like tool and is said to be shaped and fashioned after that.

Another theory is that the phrase 'frog' is also found when referring to horses. The bottom of horses' feet are often called frogs or 'frosh' (from where frog is derived), and the frog on the bow is located at the bottom. I.e., frog would mean bottom.

Two other reasons thought about the frog are less word orientated as to names and playing the violin. When one gives too much pressure on the frog while playing the violin, it tends to bounce and give and uneven sound to playing; resembling a frog.

The other would be derived from the man's name who invented the frog on the bow. His name is Helmut Gorf, and his last name, if spelled backwards, spells 'frog'.

Another reason given tends to be that the frog of the bow somewhat resemble the vague profile of a frog. When the bow is held upside down (especially with Viola and Cello bows which tend to have curved backs at the end) the frog piece actually looks something like a tree frog on a branch holding the horse hair in its mouth.

I recently purchased a chin pillow (commonly called a chin chum) for a violin. Problem is I cannot figure out how to attach it to the chin rest. All it is made of is thin foam covered with a felt material in the shape of a large tear drop. At the bottom is an elastic band, which I thought was supposed to some how wrap around the base of the violin. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to stay secure. Anyone know how this thing works?

A person can master his/her violin bow technique by practicing. A person can practice the method of holding the violin bow without physically holding the bow to make sure the fingers are placed correctly; after a person knows how to hold a bow properly, he/she can practice with the bow.

First off, you do not rosin a violin. You rosin a bow. How to rosin a bow: 1. Hold end of bow (frog end) in right hand in firm grip. 2. take rosin in left hand and hold one end. do not touch the other end of the rosin with your hand 3. Put the end of the rosin that you are not touching with your left hand and place in contact with horsehair on tip of bow (not frog end) 4. Gently rub rosin on bow, sliding up and down horsehair. Note: Do NOT let hand rub horsehair, just the rosin!!! 5. now you can play the violin with rosin on the bow! Yea!!!!

You use rosin (resin is what comes out of the tree in it's raw state), on bows (this goes for violin, viola, cello, and bass bows) so that the bow can get a good grip on the strings and make a sound. New bows will need to be rosined a good amount because it hasn't been played yet and rosin hasn't taken a hold on the bow hairs yet. A bow that has been used before and been played for a while doesn't need as much rosin as a new bow because there is already rosin on the bow hairs. If you don't rosin your bow every once in a while, the sound that will be produced will sound wierd.

You basically rub the hairs of the bow onto the rosin. But, the rosin has to be scraped to gab onto the bow hairs. But good rosin does no need to be scraped before using. I one bought a violin that came with a free rosin and I rubbed it on for half an hour and nothing went on. I then bought a more expensive piece of rosin and it worked just fine.

violin, viola, (violin) cello, (double) bass

i can get notes from seraching it in the website

I'm not quite sure if you mean when was the violin made or...um...when was the violin. But anyways, I'm going to answer when was the violin made.

It is probable that the violin (and its other cousins the viola and cello) were created during the mid-16th century in Northern Italy. Perhaps being the maker of the first true violins, Andrea Amati (ca. 1500-1577) was the patriarch of the Cremona school of violin making. Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (1698-1744), brought the violin to its highest level both as a musical instrument and as a work of art.

Guitars are string instruments that can be played using a pick or with the fingers. Another stringed instrument that is played using the fingers is the banjo. Ukeleles are also played in a similar way.

The violin, by all accounts, originates in Northern Italy during the first half of the 16th century. But the "inventor" is unknown and will remain open to discussion. Most scholars credit Andrea Amati of Cremona (c.1511-1577), as the first known violin maker because there exists documentation of two violins he created between 1542 and and 1546. However, these instruments had only three strings, like the rebec. The first four string violin, also by Andrea Amati, was dated 1555. The oldest surviving violin, c.1560, is also by Andrea Amati.

Yes. It can also be played without a bow by plucking or slapping the strings.

There are some songs in which doesn't use a bow at all for a double bass. Other songs, though, will require that the bow be used the entire song. There are songs that encorporate both the bow and 'plucking' the strings. For tuning purposes, a bow is most likely to be used.

Double Stop

There are seventy pieces of wood in a violin. An example is the bridge.

Alicia keys karma , search miri be ari , twista overnight clebrity , black violin ,

it starts at open a so

0 0 0 0 0 d2 a0 0 0 0 0 d2 11

and so on its pretty basic and if you know this you can figure out the rest

the lowest string on the violin is called the "G" string, after that it is called the "D" string, the next string is the "A"string, and then (my personal least favourite) the "E" string

hope this helped!

p.s the G is the lowest and the E is he highest

p.s who would ask this kind of question the person who did they are clearly stupid

Dear "P.S." (abbreviation for Post Script)Someone's grammar is atrocious. That is stupidity in MY book. Don't judge and you won't be judged.

The end button is on the bottom of the instrument. It is used to hold the tailpiece in place.

More than "invented", violin rosin is an adaptation of natural tree pitch, or hardened sap.

It is believed that the earliest violin rosins were no more than hardened pitch pulled from trees and utilized as is.

That lead to melting the pitch in order to pour it into more convenient shapes, ie cakes.

From there in an effort to create better and more consistent rosin, makers began to experiment with additives. For example, the addition of beeswax was found to create a less brittle rosin.

The added ingredients in different rosins run the full spectrum from gold flakes to meteorite dust and everything in between and exact ingredients are often closely guarded secrets.

In order to produce high volumes of product many modern rosin makers have turned to utilizing a hardened by-product of the paper industry often called Sylvaros rather than fresh tree sap or pitch.

Violin rosin is generally based from pine tree sap/colophony, but some rosins include colophony from other kinds of conifer trees.
