Playing the violin is a excellent experience and relatively easy to learn if you take it step by step. Firstly however you will need to comprehend the inner workings of the violin so that you know where to place your palms and why.

The principal elements of the violin are the front, also known as the belly, top, or soundboard, usually made from well-seasoned spruce; the spine, usually made from well-seasoned walnut; and the ribs, neck, fingerboard, pegbox, scroll, bridge, tailpiece, and f-holes, or soundholes. Front, back, and ribs are combined together to make a hollow sound box. The sound box comprises the audio post, a thin, dowel-like rod of wood wedged inside beneath the right side of the bridge and connecting the front and back of the violin; and the bass-bar, a long strip of wood glued into the inside of the front beneath the left side of this bridge. The audio post and bass-bar are important for the transmission of audio, and they also give added support to the structure. The strings are fastened to the tailpiece, remaining bridge, are suspended over the fingerboard, and operate into the pegbox, where they're attached to tuning pegs which can be flipped to change the pitch of the series.

A violinist makes distinct pitches by putting the hands on the string and pressing against the fingerboard. The strings are set in vibration and produce sound when the player draws the bow across them in a perfect angle near the bridge.

One of the most decorated features of the violin are its singing tone and its capability to play fast, brilliant figurations in addition to lyrical melodies. Violinists can easily create special effects by way of these methods: pizzicato, plucking the strings; tremolo, moving the bow quickly back and forth on a string; sul ponticello, playing with the bow exceptionally near the bridge to make a thin, glassy sound; col legno, playing with the wooden portion of the bow rather than using the hair; harmonics, putting the fingers of the left hand gently on specific points of the series to get a mild, flutelike sound; and glissando, steadily gliding the left-hand fingers up and down along the string to make an upward- or downward-sliding pitch.

Among composers of Big solo and chamber works for the violin are Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven from the baroque and classical eras; the Austrian Franz Schubert, the Germans Johannes Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn, and Robert Schumann, and the Russian Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky from the romantic age; as well as the French Claude Debussy, the Austrian Arnold Schoenberg, the Hungarian Béla Bartók, and the Russian-born Igor Stravinsky in the 20th century.

You're certainly joining an elite group when you get a violin.
