The violin is a beautiful musical instrument that is small but makes big sounds.

It is a string instrument which means it creates sound when you use a bow to rub against its strings.

The violin actually started its life hundreds of years ago in Italy, in the early 16th century!

Many think that a man named Andrea Amati made the very first violin, as part of a family that became famous for crafting these sweet-sounding instruments.

Over time, people started to fine-tune the design of the violin to help it sound better and better.

Now, music from a violin can be heard in all sorts of places, from big concert halls, to school music rooms, to even your favorite cartoons and movies.

The violin has four strings, which you play with a bow that is made of horsehair.

Beneath those strings, there is a wooden body that helps bounce the sound out to whoever’s listening.

All in all, the violin is a pretty amazing piece of history that has the ability to make extraordinary music!
