Violin History: Although Violins have ancient origins, they acquired most of their modern characteristics from Luthiers in 16th century Italy. It wasn’t until the 1800’s and the Baroque period that the violin began to proliferate with respected composers such as Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Sebastian Bach using violins in their compositions. Since then the violin has gained much love and respect from around the world as both a solo and concert instrument, and violins are now played by musicians in a wide variety of musical genres including classical, jazz, folk, punk and rock’n’roll.

	Violin Information

The Violin is a four-stringed acoustic musical instrument that is played with a bow. It heads up the violin family of instruments that also features the viola, cello and double bass. Sound is usually generated by pulling the bow, which consists of a stick featuring a strip of horse hair, across the violin strings, although plucking the strings by hand - known as pizzicato - is also a commonly used technique to create a different tone and resonance. Rosin is rubbed on the bow hair to ensure its smooth progression across the violin strings. Choosing the right size violin When purchasing a violin, particularly for children, one of the most important aspects to bear in mind is size. Using a violin or bow that is too big or small can make playing difficult and as such different sizes of violin are available to suit the proportions of the player. Half size violins: typically for children aged between six and ten, with an arm length of around 20 to 22 inches. Three-quarter size violins: geared towards the nine to 11 age bracket for arm lengths of about 22 to 23.5 inches Full / adult size violins: for those with arms of 23.5 inches or longer.
