The violin is a string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family, which includes the viola, cello, and double bass. The violin is used primarily in classical music, but also has a long history of use in folk music and popular music.

The violin first appeared in 16th century Italy, and quickly became one of the most popular instruments in Europe. By the 18th century, it had become the standard orchestral string instrument. Today, the violin is widely considered to be one of the most versatile and expressive instruments in existence.

Despite its classical roots, the violin has been used extensively in folk and popular music.
