Violins are also largely used in Indian classical style of music.
Violins are available in different style and types.
Acoustic Violin
A vibrating string on its own makes only a very quiet sound, so the string instruments are usually constructed in such a way that this sound is coupled to a hollow resonating chamber. On the violin the tout strings pass over a bridge resting on a hollow box. The strings vibrations are distributed via the bridge and sound post to all surfaces of the instrument which makes loud noises. The arched shape, thickness of the wood, governs the sound of a violin.
