MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS .....(contd....)

VIOLIN

Falls under string family. It is made up of wood with steel strings. Size is variable but the length is approx 14”. Pitch range is 3 octave. Origin of the violin is “ evolved from the Rebec and the Lira da braccio”. The earliest true four stringed violins were probably in use in Europe by the early part of the century. This instrument produces its sounds from the vibration of strings. This is very widely used in Carnatic music.
