The violin is a musical string instrument. Consisting of 71 wooden elements  glued or assembled to each other, it has four strings generally tuned to the fifth, which the instrumentalist, called violinist, rubs with a bow or pliers with the 'index or thumb (in pizzicato).

In classical music groups such as the string quartet or the symphonic orchestra, the violin is the smallest and sharpest instrument among its family; this includes viola, cello and double bass. Its creation dates back to the 15th century. Very quickly popularized, it occupies an important place in Western classical music: great composers wrote for this instrument (concertos, chamber music, symphonic pieces, etc.) or even played it themselves (Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, etc. .), and certain 19th century violinists have also acquired great renown, notably Paganini.
