{{Violin}}

The '''violin''', sometimes known as a '''''[[fiddle]]''''', is a wooden chordophone ([[string instrument]]) in the [[violin family]]. Most violins have a hollow wooden body. It is the smallest and thus highest-pitched instrument ([[soprano]]) in the family in regular use.{{efn|Smaller violin-type instruments exist, including the [[violino piccolo]] and the [[pochette (musical instrument)|pochette]], but these are virtually unused.}} The violin typically has four [[strings (music)|strings]], usually tuned in [[perfect fifth]]s with notes G3, D4, A4, E5, and is most commonly played by drawing a [[bow (music)|bow]] across its strings. It can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers ([[pizzicato]]) and, in specialized cases, by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow ([[col legno]]).

They are most prominent in the [[Western classical music|Western classical tradition]], both in ensembles (from [[chamber music]] to [[orchestra]]s) and as solo instruments. Violins are also important in many varieties of [[folk music]], including [[country music]], [[bluegrass music]], and in [[jazz violin|jazz]].
