A violin
is “is
a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths.” The
first stringed instruments are from Central Asia. Originally they were played by
plucking the strings, while nowadays they are played by a mixture of plucking and
by “drawing a bow across one or more strings.” The modern violin was created in
the Middle East. They are widely used in many orchestras and classical pieces. For
an example of just how wonderful this instrument sounds, check out the video
