Violin sound is produced by string vibrations transmitted through the bridge to the body, amplifying and projecting the sound.
The sound of a violin is produced through the vibration of its strings, which are set into motion by a bow or plucking. These vibrations are transmitted to the body of the violin via the bridge, amplifying the sound and projecting it through the air.
