The Violin

 Hey readers,

Today you will be learning about the Violin, this is considered as the one of the most majestic stringed instruments.

they sound beautiful when you can play them right, there are so much ways to learn. one of the ways is called the Suzuki method LOL, it teaches children that are still in their mums. Did you know that there are also electric violins!

So on the violin there are f holes which are sound holes but in the shape of an f.

There is a bow that you cover the horse hairs with stuff called rosin that makes it smooth so it doesn't break he horse hairs, it also makes it amit sound.

and lastly the tuning keys help it make different sounds.
