       ​For the project, I am making a violin. I have a 6 - year experience playing the violin so I know a lot about it. The violin is played when a person uses the bow, the bow strikes against the violin and produces notes. A person can either pluck strings or use the bow to get sound out of the violin.
      To change a note on the violin you press down on the strings in a specific place, almost like a guitar. A violin is shaped like a mini guitar.

      To create and change sound, I would press my fingers against a part of the violin to see what sound comes out. I think that when you make the bow go against the violin, the string that you strike vibrates and sends sound waves out the violin.
