Violin strings can be made from a variety of materials, including: Gut The original type of violin string, made from sheep or cow intestines. Gut strings have a complex tone with many overtones, but they are more expensive and harder to keep in tune than other types of strings. Steel Steel strings have a metal core and are easier to keep in tune than gut strings. They were introduced in the early 20th century and are inexpensive. Nylon Nylon strings have a wide range of tonal qualities and prices. Some say that nylon strings have a richness of expression similar to gut strings. Synthetic Most modern violin strings are made from synthetic materials. The core of a violin string is wrapped with a thin wire, often made from aluminum or silver. The choice of string material depends on the player's preference for tone and feel. read less

Will the wood used to make Violin influence the output of sound coming from Violin?
Absolutely! There lies the difference in sounds for a Stradivari and a locally made one! And even worse are factory-made violins!

Hi, I want to learn to play the violin, and I am not sure which violin to go for as a beginner. I don't have any local shop nearby, so I probably would have to order online. Can someone help with which violin I should buy?
You should always go to the store and check out yourself by playing on different acoustic instruments. Even if they look the same, the sound won't! Play by yourself and pick the one you like.
