When a string of a violin is played with a bow the violin vibrates in?
The string itself when played with a bow would not create a loud sound if not for the body of the violin. The majority of the sound comes from the vibration of the strings on the bridge, which transfers the vibration to the body of the instrument. Inside the instrument, beneath the bridge under the E-string there is a stick of wood called a sound post wedged vertically between the front and back which carries the vibration to the wood on the underside. Beneath the G-string of the bridge there is a bar that runs lengthwise on the inside of the front panel called a bass bar, which helps to distribute the lower pitched vibrations. The instrument is made of a dried wood that is cut thinly, the thickness and density of the wood, as well as the shaping of the chamber create the characteristic of the instruments sound. This and other more subtle aspects of the construction. The bow is not the cause of the sound.

How many violins are played in an orchstra?
There is no specific demand of how many violins must be in orhistra,so it can vary,commonly the quantity of violinists are hired due to music type and proffesion of the players.
Take a a long piece of wood. Cut it to the right length. Shape the edge so it has a tringlar end. Use something for the screw and put it at the other end of the stick. Slide something at the same end as the screw so it can be the pad. Take a square object and tape it on the bottom of the stick next to the pad for the frog. The find something that can be used as string or horse hair and wrap it around the tip and the other end of the bow. Then you have a French bow :)

Is Cecilio violin a good brand?
Yes.
I purchased the CVN-600 and the quality of the violin is much higher than what I expected for this price range. It has a real inlaid purfling and the wood use is beautiful; it is highly flamed on the back and side panel. The only advice I have is to be cautious setting the bridge, I would recommend to seek a technician to install the bridge or ask for help from your instructor or a luthier. I also changed the string from the economy strings on it to a dominant brand and this really brings out the true sound of the violin.
No.
Cecilio violins are Chinese-made objects that resemble violins. All of the "ebony" pieces are made of molded plastic. The hand-applied oil vanish is a thick coat of synthetic furniture varnish. The flames are crude drawing/painting strokes on the back and the neck. The bridge is not fitted and is the wrong type of wood. If you change the strings, pegs, tail piece, fine tuner and bridge, it may sound similar to a $100 student violin. Don't waste your money and time. Buy a Suzuki instead, or another of the cheaper brands.

How often should you do a violin grade?
There's no limit, in all honesty. A lot of people don't do grades at all. If you feel you want to, you only need to do them as you feel ready. There's no point entering a grade that you're not ready for, just because you haven't taken a grade for however long.
I play flute, and there was two years between grade 6 and 8 (I didn't do grade 7).
