The orchestral string instrument
The violin string instrument is the smallest standard member of the bowed string family and usually carries the highest register in orchestral and chamber music. As a violin string instrument, it is played with a bow or pizzicato and is central to solos, quartet writing and ensemble performance.
Materials and construction
A good violin string instrument typically features a spruce top, maple back and ribs, ebony fittings and quality strings chosen for balance and projection. These details influence response, tone colour and tuning stability, which are important for players in schools, conservatoires and professional settings.

The violin string instrument is available in student, intermediate, advanced and professional forms, as well as electric and amplified versions for contemporary use.
