A silent electric violin produces the same sound as an electric guitar. It isn't as loud as an acoustic violin, but isn't silent.

nothing of the above is a string instrument which is played with a bow

a brass intrument:trompet

a string percussion:the greek (santouri)

Most people classify the violin as a string instrument.

It depends on who you are. If you like the sound of a cello play a cello. If you like flutes play a flute. Both are wonderful instruments.

To be honest I think the Cello is better because it is easier to play even if the sound you make is not in tune.

Virtually all of Antonio Stradivarius' instruments that were built during what's considered his 'Golden Age' are known - either their current whereabouts or whether or not they were stolen at some point in history from the owner of the instrument. All Stradivarius instruments have provenance (it can be historically traced to the maker and previous owners).

There are several Stradivari instruments that are still missing after being stolen or lost, and it's always possible to find one - one such violin was found to be in use by an amateur violinist. There of course were no charges filed, and a settlement was reached. But the best way to know is to contact the Stradivari Society.

Given the small number of known Stradivari instruments (about 700) and the small number of those still missing, the odds of finding one of those missing instruments are pretty long. Since many manufacturers over the years, as well as forgers, have made copies and called them Stradivarius, it's more likely to have a copy than an original.

A violin is a specific instrument, whereas a fiddle can refer to a whole load of string instruments, similar to the violin, such as the welsh crwth and the apachi Tzii'edo a 'tl. But a violin can be considered a fiddle

Smash it against a hard surface. Leave it out in the rain. Put it in a room with high humidity. There are tons of ways to break a string instrument.

With your left hand, where ever you place those fingers changes the notes. Such as first finger (index) on the G string (the thickest string) makes a A. Also the individual strings made there own notes. So you can play a G, D, A, and E, just by simply playing each string.

When you pull the bow over the string(s) the hairs on the bow cause the string(s) to vibrate and send the sond to the body of the violin, where it is ampilfyed and sent out the "f-holes"

Several instruments make use of both bass and tenor clefs. The most common ones I can think of presently are the cello and the bassoon. Much of the time, music is written in bass clef, but can change when the passage to be played moves up to a higher register where tenor clef would be appropriate.

7 is wrong. It has a potentially unlimited number, as there are half-steps infinitely, and you can go as high as you can, which i think is a high C sharp

The sound when sent out of the speaker (big or small) hits the walls of the paper cone causing this sound to keep hitting the walls time after time makes the sound hit its self and there for makes a larger volume and is really nice to here rather than getting expensive speakers.

A Viola is the second instrument in the Strings Family. It looks a lot like a violin and is played the same way, but overall, it is a bigger instrument with a larger bow. A link can be found below.

The Viola is a part of the Strings family. It is larger in size than a violin, but smaller than a cello.

With a violin, you primarily use an object called a bow, which is made of horse's hair that has rosin (to make the horse hair "stick" to the string) applied onto it, which is attached to a usually wooden stick. Violinists hold the bow with their right hand, while the violin is held with the left. There are times in music where you are told to pluck. When the music demands that, it is called pizzicato (meaning to pluck), and most likely, "pizz." is written next to the area in which you pluck. Depending on the song, you do either, or you can exclusively bow or exclusively pluck. A fully plucking song is very rare; most songs require bowing almost always. The only song I can think of that is 100% plucking for a violin is A Simple Symphony: Playful Pizzicato by Benjamin Britten. I am a professional violinist, As a side note, almost always, beginning violinists learn usually by plucking first, then after they are comfortable with the strings and holding a violin, they are taught to incorporate the bow.

The violin is the smallest member of the string family.

Viola weights can vary. There is no exact weight for a viola, especially because of various sizes. I can say this, though. They are not as heavy as cellos or basses

E sharp is the same note as F natural. A sharp raises a pitch by 1/2 step, and there is no E sharp is the same note as F natural. A sharp raises a pitch by 1/2 step, and there is no black key between E and F.

They both are from the violin and the string family. The violin and viola also share 3 of the same strings: G string, D string, and A string. They generally look the same, except the viola is usually bigger than the violin (depending on the size of the viola).

You can order a violin online at eBay (from Mendini, they are best, in my opinion, as I ordered mine from them) or at your local music store, whether they have to order it or not.

You need to take your violin, strings and bridge to your local music store and have them set the strings and tune your violin.

I think a very high G. But it can vary.

Nicolaus Amatus violins were produced in the mid to late 1600s. Since then, many reproductions have been made. The chance of owning a 400 year old violin is slim to none, check with an antique specialist for authentication.

The older the violin, the better the sound, in most cases. New ones don't have their ultimate sound yet, but they are cheaper. A new violin, well made, will have a very good sound the day it is finished, but if it is a truly well made violin, constructed of good materials, it will always ripen with age and "sing" better as it gets older. It is universally believed that the aging of the spruce in the violin's top is a part of this, but most experts in the field also believe chemical changes in the varnish also play a distinct role in the process.

The violin is part of the strings group in an orchestra, which also includes the viola, the cello, and double bass.
The violin is in the string section, along with the viola and the bass.
