Just as you need to know what the pedals do to a car before driving it, the same can be said for the individual parts of a violin. . You should know that there are four strings, what to do with the pegbox and what the key is for. The most important parts of the violin are easy to recognize and remember because they are called just like parts of a human body. A violin has a neck (where the strings run along), a belly (the front of the violin), a back and ribs (the sides of the violin). The other parts of the violin may be harder to spot.

The slider

The slider is located at the top of the violin, above the human. It is a decorative part that is usually cut by hand in a curved design.

The Mensure

The manship is where the tuning pegs are placed. This is where the strings are attached to the top. The end of the string is inserted into a hole in the pin, which is then rolled up to tighten the string. The pins have been modified to match the violin.
