PARTS OF THE VIOLIN
A violin has these
parts that I'm aware of:
a carved top, normally of
spruce,
a carved back normally
made of maple, sides of maple,
a neck (not sure what
wood is in the neck usually),
fingerboard, tuning pegs
and tail piece normally made of ebony,
a bridge the strings pass
over,
a chin rest,
a tail button with a
strong piece of gut that anchors the tail piece to the tail button,
metal fine tuners often
mounted on the tail piece
a base bar inside the top
under the G string side of the bridge,
and a sound post that
runs between top and bottom, near the foot on the E string side of the
bridge.
I'm sure the violin has
other inside pieces that I'm not aware of.
There
are books on violin
building and repair. I've seen several by Harry Strobel, among
others, and on ebay, believe it or not.
