The History of the Violin

It is a bowed string instrument with a long and rich history. Its origins date back to the 16th century in Italy, where it evolved from medieval instruments such as the vielle and the rebec. The modern violin was improved by famous luthiers like Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Since then, it has greatly gained in popularity due to its ability to produce a wide range of sounds and emotions. The violin is a very versatile instrument used in different styles of music such as classical, jazz, and folk.
