A violin is a musical instrument with four strings. It is the smallest member of the violin family, along with the viola and the cello. It is also the soprano (the highest pitched).
Although a lot of people think they’re different instruments, a fiddle is the same thing as a violin; it’s played the same and sounds the same. A person who make violins is called a “luthier”, or violin maker. A person who plays one is called a violinist or fiddler. Some famous luthiers include Gaspar da Salo, Giovanni Maggini, Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati (all from Italy), and Jacob Stainer from Austria. Their instruments are highly sought after by enthusiasts and can be worth literally millions.
A violin is usually played by drawing a bow across the strings, although it can be played by plucking the strings (called pizzicato).
