Therefore, it is quite necessary to explain more about the physical shape of the violin.

The shape of violin basically consist of hollow box, which is generally made from wood (not include the electronic violin) with rounded ends and a narrow center like the shape of guitar but violin is very much smaller.

Violin consists of four strings and it has a violin bow when playing. The method of changing the tone of violin uses the same concept of guitar, which depends on the finger that pushes on the string and pitch. Push on the lower pitch give higher tone, meanwhile push on the higher pitch gives the lower tone.

When you hold it by using left shoulder, it must be firmly supported in order to keep the sound in consistent position. In the mean time, your left hand will be used to control the tone of the violin by pushing on the strings and your right hand should carry the bow to make the sound. Now this is just only the basic info that you as a beginner need to know.
