What is the Name of violin called?

The violin, (plural: violins or fiddles), also known as a fiddle, is a wooden chordophone in the violin family. Traditionally crafted from tonewoods: spruce for the top soundboard (the part that projects sound), maple for the ribs and back, and ebony for the fingerboard and other trimmings. Modern violinists generally play seated, resting the instrument, which is supported by the chin and shoulder, between the collarbone and jaw..
