The violin, often called a fiddle, is a wooden chordophone and the smallest—and therefore highest-pitched—instrument in regular use within the violin family. It can be played with a bow, plucked with the fingers (pizzicato), or in specialized cases, struck with the wooden side of the bow. As the highest-pitched string instrument, the violin holds a significant place across numerous musical genres.
Violins are essential in Western classical music, both in ensembles—from chamber music to full orchestras—and as solo instruments. They also feature prominently in folk music, including country, bluegrass, and jazz. The violin’s expressive sound has the unique ability to convey musical inspiration and deep emotion to the listener.
