The Violin: why I find it so compelling




The idea of making music using strings originally made from sheep intestines strung to a tiny intrument. Then using a stick with horse hair attached to draw across the strings and pine rosin to make the hair sticky is compelling. 

The fretless fingerboard, while adding so much in the way of tones and minuted increments of notes, is also a part of the mystique.
