The violin is a wooden string instrument in the violin family. It is the smallest and highest pitched instrument. The violin is very versatile because of its sound projection, which is suitable for larger concert venues. The sound is sweet and melodic. As the demand of the violin grew, more violins were produced, and the instrument was adapted into assorted styles of music.
Violin players invented new playing techniques to companion new genres, and the instrument was sometimes slightly changed to fit the needs of the new genre. The violin became a vital instrument used to play traditional music in Celtic, Irish, Gypsy, and Hungarian. Later on, it was used for country western, bluegrass, blues and jazz.
