The structure of the child violin
First of all, one of the questions that arise is whether a child's violin is different from an adult violin? There is no difference between a child and an adult violin in terms of shape and number of strings or even how they are played, but the important thing to keep in mind is the correct size of the violin. In general, the size of violins varies from 1/16, 1/10, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 4/4. The smaller the child, the smaller the hand, and therefore the smaller the violin. Other than that, child and adult violins are similar. The violin is a bowed string instrument that consists of four main parts: strings, resonant bowl, handle and bow. In general, this instrument has four strings and relatively short handles. You should place the instrument on your left shoulder and hold the bow in your right hand. The violin bow is made of horsehair that is pulled on strings. The body of the instrument is also made of wood, usually ebony or maple. The violin can be taught in two general sections, traditional Iranian and European. It is highly recommended to teach this instrument from an early age because the violin is a relatively difficult instrument and children's minds are more receptive to it. By educating your child from an early age, you can be sure that he will become a very professional musician in the near future.
