Brick Forge Violin

Despite stringed instruments being around for thousands of years, bowed instruments are a fairly new invention. It is believed that the talented horse-mounted warriors of Central Asia circa 10th century used their hunting bows to play stringed instruments. Simpler devices/instruments were developed and quickly spread into the Far East, India & Europe via the Silk Road. The Violin in its present form emerged in early 16th century Northern Italy where it became popular both among street musicians and the nobility. A Violin typically consists of: belly, bridge, neck, strings, tuning pegs, scroll and optional chin rest.
