The homeland of the violin is Europe. The time of birth is the thirteenth century. Before the violin took on its familiar shape, it underwent various changes and improvements. We can say that the violin has been forming for centuries, and this formation is connected with the development and evolution of music as an art. The world owes the appearance of the classical form of the violin to the Italian master Andrea Amati, who managed to achieve a timbre close to the human voice from the violin. Due to its strong and rich sound, the Amati violin entered the stage of large concert halls and became one of the most popular instruments. Another famous Italian master, Antonio Stradivari, improved the structure of the violin, which made it possible to achieve a bright sound combined with the softness and tenderness inherent only in this instrument.

In our time, the violin has not lost its popularity. It is a rather complex instrument, and it is much more difficult to master it than, for example, the piano. It takes several years to learn to play the violin professionally, and it is advisable to start at a young age. The earlier one starts learning, the better, since the technique of playing this instrument requires great flexibility and mobility of the hands. To play the violin, it is not at all necessary to have an absolute ear for music, much more important is harmonic ear. To develop it, you will need regular solfeggio classes.

The violin is very meteosensitive, strong temperature fluctuations and any changes in the environment are destructive for it. It should be protected from direct sunlight, heat, moisture. It is important to choose a quality case for her. Usually choose spacious and heat-resistant. The case must be ventilated periodically. The violin is kept in a breathable fabric bag and is regularly cleaned with soft flannel wipes. The inside of the violin is cleaned with heated oats or washed dry rice. In addition, there are many factory-made tools for violin care. The bow is rubbed with rosin for better gliding.
