What is National Violin Day?

National Violin Day, December 13th, honoring an instrument also known as the fiddle, honoring the bow stringed instrument loved around the world.

The violinist manipulates the sound in a variety of ways by drawing the bow across the strings. To master the violin, a violinist masters the violin by using a variety of bowing techniques. The strokes were not limited to notes, but rather the note's quality.

Although we often associate the violin with classical music, it is also applicable to other genres. For example, the violinist demonstrates the versatility of the violin by extensive use in baroque music, jazz, folk music, rock and roll, and soft rock.

Although having ancient roots, violin-makers developed the majority of the violin's modern characteristics in Italy during the 16th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, further changes were made.
