Like many things in life, when you learn the violin for the first time the experience can be exciting and enjoyable, and challenging at the same time. The violin is a musical instrument that belongs to a subfamily of bowed strings, which is part of the larger family of stringed musical instruments. Records show that the violin has existed as early as 1556. However it is quite possible that older version or family of the violin existed before 1556. There are many bowed instruments in the world, but the violin is the one instrument that has seen a lot of development in terms of theory and application.
