1. Strings: The strings are the primary vibrating elements of the violin. When you draw the bow across the strings, they vibrate and produce sound waves.
2. Bridge: The bridge is a small piece of wood that sits between the strings and the body of the violin. It helps to transfer the vibrations of the strings to the body.
3. Soundboard: The soundboard is the large, thin piece of wood that forms the front of the violin. It vibrates in response to the vibrations of the bridge, amplifying and projecting the sound.
4. Back and Sides: The back and sides of the violin, made of wood, also vibrate sympathetically with the other components, enriching the overall sound quality.
5. Air inside the body: The air enclosed within the violin's body resonates and contributes to the amplification and modification of the sound.
