Violin

This is the little one. The violin is the smallest and highest pitched member of the string family.
The sound of the violin is high, bright and sweet.
There are more violins in the orchestra than any other instrument. There can be as many as 30 or more violins in an orchestra!
In an orchestra, violins get divided into two groups: first and second. First violins often play the melody.
A standard violin is around 24 inches long.
A violin bow is around 29 inches long.
You play the violin by tucking it between your chin and shoulder. Your left hand presses down on the strings to change the pitch, and your right hand moves the bow or plucks the strings.
