Violin: The violin or “fiddle” is a string instrument which is played with a bow. It is the smallest member of the string family of orchestra instruments. The violin has 4 strings. The names of the strings are E, A, D and G. The violin is very similar to the viola, but the violin has plays higher pitches. The violin comes in fractional sizes 1/64 to 3/4 and of course the 4/4 size violin.
Violin parts : Scroll – The violin scroll is mostly for decoration and is in the shape of a paper scroll. This part of the violin is unique to string instruments and is also found on the viola, cello, and bass. The scroll is usually hand carved and ads a beautiful touch to the violin. Hairs – Never ever touch the hairs on the bow. Even if your fingers are clean there are natural oils in our skin that will soil the bow hairs and prevent the bow from playing. The hairs are made of horse hairs (no, the horse is not harmed, simply gets a hair cut)

How to change atrings? Tune the String: Use a chromatic tuner as a guide to tighten the string to the right pitch. Be careful not to over tighten the string or it might break. If you change another string on the instrument you will have to re-tune this string. Also, brand new strings take a little while to hold tuning because they have to stretch. So after you change strings, it will be necessary to continuously re-tune the instrument until it holds its tuning. Usually this takes about one week after you change strings.
