Study Notes
Violin Anatomy
- The neck connects the violin's body to the headstock, facilitating sound amplification through resonance.
- The fingerboard is a strip of wood running along the neck, providing a surface for the player to press down on strings, changing pitch.
- The pegbox located at the top of the violin's headstock holds the tuning pegs.
- F-holes are two f-shaped openings on the violin's body. They are soundholes, allowing sound waves to resonate and amplify.
- Fine tuners are small mechanisms attached to the tailpiece. They allow for precise adjustments of the string's tension, resulting in more accurate tuning.
