The Parts of a Violin
The violin is made up of many intricate parts. Here are the most important ones:
- Tuning pegs: Tune the strings of the violin
- Fingerboard: Area on the violin upon which you finger, or play, the notes
- Bridge: Holds the strings in place
- Fine tuners: Make small changes to the tuning
- Chin rest: Lets you support the violin with your chin
- Tailpiece: Anchors the strings and holds fine tuners
- Scroll: Curled, wooden, topmost part of the violin
- F-holes: F-shaped openings on the front of the violin that allow the sound of the vibrating strings to resonate
-
Sound post: Internal piece that helps the violin produce sound
