Pitch in sound,violin in ruff and the viola is mellow like what is used in orchestra's. Violins are use in things like country music.

I love classical music I also love the "noise" you refer to. There is also a lot of "noise" that is filled with peace and inspiration or other equally noble messages. There is also classical music which is anything but peaceful.

Absolutely not - they are different instruments.

technically it is the same, it is how it is played. in classical styles it is considered a violin, if you play a lot of country or bluegrass music it is a fiddle.

Yes, I think most people who play musical instruments (esp a stringed one) like classical music since we learned to play using it.  I'll check out the group. Thx!

Demonic violin! Lol.  I agree that Pagannini sounds pretty demonic, I would add to that Bach's Concertos for two Violins.  \n\nIf you want to go with the obvious and away from Classical you have to add "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels band.

yeah at my old work at a pizza place we had a bugle on the wall.  also you can get bugles during Christmas time that are only decoration.  And if you ever go to a symphony concert, chances are the last chair 1st violin is a hack and is faking everything cuz he only got in because his wife is friends with the music director.

Personally, i would go for violin. It has always been one of my favourite instruments. Good violins look beautiful as well as having a rich tone. My violin is over 100 years old and has a lovely mellow tone (especially with a good set of strings). \n\nFor me, a good violin is something to be treasured and passed on, but never sold. Violins are individual and each has its own characteristics just like those who play them. Violins have a history and improve with age and good playing. there are many violins that are over 100 years old, some dating back to the 17th century. \n\nI am a violinist. I've played vioin for over 10 years (since I was 7). I'll never play professionally, but I will never stop playing. It's too much part of who I am.\n\nSo yes, the violin.

The correct word is "timbre".  That is to say, quality.  Consider middle C played on a piano and a violin, with the same loudness.  Same loudness = same amplitude; same pitch = same frequency.  Yet they sound different, i.e. the timbre or  quality is different. \n\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION: In string and wind instruments, progressive waves (transverse in strings and longitudinal in wind) travel outwards in opposite directions from the point where the vibration was started.  When they reach the end of the string or pipe, they are reflected back inwards.  Interference occurs between the outwards and inwards waves and a standing wave is produced.  In this, certain points called nodes (N) are always at rest, while others mid-way between each pair of nodes are in continuous vibration with maximum amplitude; they are called antinodes (A).  The distance between two consecutive Ns will represent the half wavelengths in your question.\n\nVarious standing wave patterns can be produced.  If there is a node at each end of the string or pipe and just one antinode between them, the standing wave has one loop and the fundamental note is emitted.  If there is more than one loop, overtones are produced.  It is these overtones (when added to the fundamental) that give a sound its timbre or quality.

The violin:\nViolin construction and mechanics\n \nDetail of bridge and stringsMain article: Violin construction and mechanics \n[edit]\nConstruction\nA violin typically consists of a spruce top, maple ribs and back, two endblocks, a neck, a bridge, a soundpost, four strings, and various fittings, optionally including a chinrest, which may attach directly over, or to the left of, the tailpiece. A distinctive feature of a violin body is its "hourglass" shape and the arching of its top and back. The hourglass shape comprises an upper bout, a lower bout, and two concave C-bouts at the "waist," providing clearance for the bow.\n\nThe voice of a violin depends on its shape, the wood it is made from, the "graduation" (the thickness profile) of both the top and back, and the varnish which coats its outside surface. The varnish and especially the wood continue to improve with age, making the fixed supply of old violins much sought-after. Loose parts or open seams may cause buzzes and should be professionally attended to; in particular, no adhesive other than animal hide glue should ever be used on a violin. A well-tended violin can outlive many generations of players, so it is wise to take a curatorial view when caring for a violin.\n\nThe purfling running around the edge of the spruce top is said to give some resistance to cracks originating at the edge. It is also claimed to allow the top to flex more independently of the rib structure. Painted-on faux purfling on the top is usually a sign of an inferior instrument. Ideally the top is glued on with slightly diluted hide glue, to make future removal possible. The back and ribs are typically made of maple, most often with a matching striped figure, called "flame."\n\nThe neck is usually maple with a flamed figure compatible with that of the ribs and back. It carries the fingerboard, typically made of ebony, but often some other wood stained or painted black. Ebony is considered the preferred material because of its hardness, beauty, and superior resistance to wear. The maple neck alone is not strong enough to support the tension of the strings without distorting, relying for that strength on its lamination with the fingerboard. For this reason, if a fingerboard comes loose (it happens) it is vital to slacken the strings immediately. The shape of the neck and fingerboard affect how easily the violin may be played. Fingerboards are dressed to a particular transverse curve, and have a small lengthwise "scoop," or concavity, slightly more pronounced on the lower strings, especially when meant for gut or synthetic strings.\n\nSome old violins (and some made to appear old) have a grafted scroll, or a seam between the pegbox and neck itself. Many authentic old instruments have had their necks reset to a slightly increased angle, and lengthened by about a centimeter. The neck graft allows the original scroll to be kept with a Baroque violin when bringing its neck to conformance with modern standard.\n\n \nBridge blank and finished bridgeThe bridge is a carefully carved piece of maple, having several purposes: its top curve holds the strings at the proper height from the fingerboard in an arc allowing each to be sounded separately by the bow. It also transmits the vibrations of the strings to the body of the violin. The sound post, or "soul post", fits precisely between the back and top, and may be moved slightly when adjusting the tone of the instrument.\n\nThe tailpiece anchors the strings to the lower bout of the violin by means of the tailgut, which loops around the endpin, which fits into a tapered hole in the bottom block. Very often the E string will have a fine tuning lever worked by a small screw turned by the fingers. Fine tuners may also be applied to the other strings, and are sometimes built in to the tailpiece.\n\nAt the scroll end, the strings wind around the tuning pegs in the pegbox. Strings usually have a colored &qu

Besides occurring about 200 years after Medieval music (pre-1400), Baroque music (1600-1750)is primarill different because it uses instrumentation whereas Medieval music was solely vocal arrangments. \nMedieval:\n        1. All male voices\n        2. Monophonic textures\n        3. Sung in Latin\n        4. Non-metrical \nBarogue:\n        1. Elaborate compositions\n        2. New focus on writing musci to showcase instruments\n\nAdditionally, terms like Concerto, Movement, Opus, etc. were invented to help document and notate the new style.

personally i would prefer a viola! if u prefer deep loud bassy sort of sound then choose cello. i think cello is abit troublesome to carry and set up. \nbut it all depends on u.

A violin is smaller and higher pitched than a viola. Violins have the strings G D A E, from lowest to highest, while the viola has C G D A, and not an E string. To accompany the lower pitch, the instrument is bigger.

well, if you want to sing opera you must have vibrato and a full clean smooth voice, and if you sing death metal you must be able to scream at lower that usual tones, on the right note, so there definately is differences.

Is that supposed to be "Stradivarius"? \n\nIf your not just full of it, and the violin is very playable, you have one hell of a violin on your hands! That is something that you could pretty much retire on or...and it would be even better...give to your children as an inheritance.\n\nAs for what it is worth, you need to get it appraised by a Sotheby's or some place similar.
