What is the difference between violin 1 and violin 2?
Violin 1 and 2 are roughly equal sized sections of the orchestra, each made up of (usually) 12-16 violinists. The concertmaster (lead violinist) sits at the front of the first violins). The 1st violin section usually carries the melody, whereas the 2nd violins usually accompany. This is however not always the case. Sometimes the 2nd violins play the 1st violin part but one octave below. The relationship between the two sections varies from composer to composer. For example in Johann Strauss, the 2nd violins usually provide the waltz rhythm, and the 1st violins carry the melody. However in Elgar (for example), they are often on equal terms and a lot of role reversal occurs where the 2nds have the tune and 1sts accompany.
A good concluding remark would be that there is no less a difference between the two sections than there is between strings and woodwind for example, except that they employ the same instrument.
What the piano can do what violin cannot do?
The piano can make lower notes than a violin because a violin is a very high pitched musical instrument. I would say another thing you can do on a piano that you can't do on the violin is the fact that you can play seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths on the piano.
First, you play a violin, not use, though I am sure you put that there because it wouldn't let you put play since there is already that question. You play a violin by supporting the lower bout of the violin between your shoulder and chin, while holding the neck, using your fingers to change notes. You lightly, or roughly(depending on music) pull the bow across the cords in the middle, or the waist, by the bridge. But not too rough, for you may snap the strings. Note that you tighten the hair on the bow before playing.
DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOW ALL THE WAY! It WILL snap. You can tell when your bow is not too tight when it curves a little inward. If it curves outward then it's way too tight and it could eventually snap. Remember too loosen your bow when you are putting your violin in a case otherwise the hairs could stretch out over time. Also if you get too close too the frod the it will squeak. Stay in between.

Can a violin be played without the bridge?
No absolutely not the bridge is what transfers the vibrations of the strings into the hollow inside of the violin resonating the sound, if you were to play it without the bridge it would sound similar to an electric guitar without an amp.
Is Bach's Chaconne harder on violin or guitar or is it equally frustrating on both?
Now this is a difficult question!
Physically, I'd have to vote that the Chaconne in D minor from Bach's second partita for solo violin is more difficult on violin. It involves many chords which span four or five positions, requiring the player of a modern violin to deal with how to present each note of the chord with the bow as well as the difficulty of fingering them. Certainly the guitar wins here, because the player has all the fingers of the right hand to apply to striking all the notes of the chord at the same time.
Both instruments therefore have to deal with sustain: for the violin, some of the notes of each chord (and therefore important parts of the polyphony which must be carried forward) cannot be sustained if the bow cannot be applied to all strings at once. On the guitar, however, getting a chord to sustain over long periods of time requires the player to have developed a very good technique, and carrying the polyphony can be even more problematic. Many professional players and teachers of the guitar have (irrationally, to my thoughts) declared the guitar as not being capable of polyphony in the first place!
So, certainly, in both cases, the player has to have spent time becoming the master of their instrument before confronting the piece. After that, the difficulties lie mostly in understanding the piece and getting the instrument to carry one's interpretation to the listener.
It is worth noting, for historical completeness, that Bach created versions of movements from the Partitas for the lute, which is in some ways like the guitar. Usually, he rewrote the pieces, rather than carrying them note-for-note. Likewise, within the historical period, written chords like the chaconne provides were arpeggiated (even on violin) in order to carry the polyphonic voices and fill the sustain-weak area between chords. I have not yet heard anyone, lute, guitar or violin, apply this technique to the chaconne, though!

Is the Red Violin a true story?
No, it's entirely fictional - even down to the make of the violin (Nicolo Bussotti)! Does have a good bit of lore and a couple of real-life inspirations mixed in, though, like for example the red violin itself is inspired by Stradivarius's Red Mendelssohn (which is NOT tinted with blood!).
Is a standard violin good for beginners?
In order to judge whether a violin is a good beginner violin, we must make sure the violin passes our 8 point test. Here it is:
-Make sure that the fine tuners (located under the bridge) can easily turn both ways without resistance.
-Make sure the violin is made of solid wood. Please kindly note that many inexpensive violins sold online use inferior woods like plywood (laminated). Unfortunately, due to the tension created by the strings onto the bridge, plywood made violins usually break within 6 months.
-Make sure that the person using the violin can easily push down on the strings. If they cannot push down on the string comfortably, either the bridge needs to be recut or the fingerboard nut is too high.
-Make sure that the strings are evenly spaced out on the fingerboard nut (located at the top of the violin)
-Make sure that there are no plastic parts
-Make sure that the bridge is curved enough so your bow won't play on two strings at once
-Make sure that the strings are equally spaced out on the bridge so your bow won't play on two strings at once
-Make sure the violin is made with inlaid purfling, which is a strip of wood added to the edges of the front and back of the violin to protect the violin from cracks.
If the violin you are looking at does not pass one of these eight points, we would discourage you from buying it. They will end up costing you a lot of money to fix or replace. We highly discourage individuals to buy a violin less than $150 (off sites like eBay or Amazon) because those instruments tend to be made of inferior materials (such a plywood) and are not properly shop adjusted (meaning that you could spend up to $75 at your local shop just setting it up properly).
