Is an acoustic violin the same as a violin?
Both violins are good, but it depends on what you like more. Acoustic violins are good if... *you want to play classical music *you don't want to worry with the technical things *you want to just have a common, old fashioned violin Electric violins are good if... *you want to make your own kind of rock/modern genre of music *you are willing to get the deal with the technical things (and buy them) *you want to have a modern, unique violin There are pros and cons with both, but if you want to be simple, get the acoustic. If you want to be futuristic, get the electric. You may even get both! (if you have the money ;) )
How many sizes of violin are there?
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.
The knob used for pitch adjustment or tuning on the violin is called the "peg".
Although many people have contributed to the invention of the violin, Andrea Amati was known for making the first violin that resembles the modern violin (i.e. four strings).

Do the hairs of the violin bow come from a male horse?
Theoretically you could, but it would be very hard to find someone to agree to use the horse hair to do the rehair job. Also, the quality of the horse hair could be well below normal standards. For a violin, white horse hair is the predominant type of hair used and other varieties will not produce a brilliant sound.

Is there a violin size larger than full size?
why would there be? unless it was custom made for someone, its called full size for a reason. i would presume you can have violins made for a specific person, and if that specific person was rather large, it would result in a rather large violin. if not, play double bass. that's pretty big.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A full-size 4/4 violin is about 23 to 23 1/2 " long with a ~14" body. A viola can come in different sizes like a violin and can be 1 to 4" longer than a 4/4 violin. The big difference is that a viola is tuned (most of the time) to C-G-D-A, one-fifth (five half tones) below the violin.
So...... If you have come across something slightly larger than a 4/4 violin, and you were wondering what it was, it is probably a viola.
On the other hand, if your question arises from the hope of obtaining a violin bigger than a full 4/4 violin, you can always fit violin-gauge strings to a small viola and hope that the added string tension from tuning it to the G-D-A-E violin scale does not snap it in half. (P.S. It probably won't.)
What instrument family does violin belong to?
It certainly is. They are both in the string family and the cellos,and the basses are too they are all related.
They are certainly not. Violins are from the viola Family, meaning little viola, and the guitar is from the lute family, named after an english medieval expression for women of easy virtue. Just because they have strings it doesn't mean they are from the same family.
Why when you play a violin it's very loud?
if your bow seems too slippery, you probably have no rosin on the string.
What is the length of a violin?
the violins height is hard to reconize but soon will be discovered. It is usually 50 inches.
-------
This is just a stupid answer. What first of all is the question asking. Height of the arching top to back-around 60mm's, height of the ribs-about 30mm's. Or did they mean overall length of the violin-not really a used measurement, the length of the instruments body is 14"+-. This all assumes a full size violin, 50" is not even close.

What is the value of a Violin marked Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1716?
In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine.
The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.
What's unique about the violin is that its bow is made out of horse hair. They use the horse's tail hair to make the bow. This question is able to be opinionated. Some people might not think it is unique, yet some may think that's the greatest thing they have ever heard!
