"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit & a Violin - what else does a man need to be happy"
Albert Einstein
The violin is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin 
family of string instruments, which also includes the viola and cello. It is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. A person who plays the violin is called a violinist or fiddler, and a person who makes or repairs them is called a luthier, or simply a violin maker. A violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, regardless of the type of music played on it. The word "violin" comes from the Romance languages from the Middle Latin word vitula, meaning "stringed instrument".
A violin typically consists of a spruce top (the soundboard, also known as the top plate, table, or belly), maple ribs and back, two end blocks, a neck, a bridge, a sound post, four strings, and various fittings, optionally including a chin rest, which may attach directly over, or to the left of, the tail piece. A distinctive feature of a violin body is its "hourglass" shape and the arching of its top and back. The hourglass shape comprises two upper bouts, two lower bouts, and two concave C-bouts at the "waist," providing clearance for the bow.
The standard way of holding the violin 
is with the left side of the jaw resting on the chin rest of the violin, and supported by the left shoulder, often assisted by a shoulder rest. This practice varies in some cultures; for instance, Indian (Carnatic and Hindustani) violinists play seated on the floor and rest the scroll of the instrument on the side of their foot. The strings may be sounded by 
drawing the hair of the bow across them (arco) or by plucking them (pizzicato). The left hand regulates the sounding length of the string by stopping it against the fingerboard with the fingertips, producing different pitches.
Most likely the first makers of violins borrowed from three types of current instruments:
the rebec, in use since the 10th century (itself derived from the Arabic rebab); the Renaissance fiddle; & the lira da braccio.
One of the earliest explicit descriptions
of the instrument, including its tuning, was in the Epitome musical by Jambe de Fer, published in Lyon in 1556. By this time, the violin had already begun to spread throughout Europe.
The oldest documented violin to have four strings, like the modern violin, is 
supposed to has been constructed in 1555 by Andrea Amati, but the date is doubtful. (Other violins, documented significantly earlier, only had three strings.) To this day, instruments from the "Golden Age" of violin making, especially those made by Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesu, are the most sought-after instruments by both collectors and performers.
