Anatomy of a Violin, Viola, and Cello (Parts Diagram)

Working on that e-learning, remote orchestra project!? We have the best rentals, setup to our exacting specifications, that can be shipped to wherever you are. You don't have to put up with that laminate, dead sounding, hard to play instrument anymore ;) We also have great discounts if you're read to upgrade to the StringWorks Setup, or school discounts if your school is taking this chance to invest in additional instruments for the school. Please share our information with your teacher, it is much appreciated during these times. Keep up the practice and happy playing! (Please let us know if there are any other resources we can help provide for your research and projects.)

 

There are many parts to a violin, viola, and cello, and these diagrams show the basic parts and names of areas on the stringed instrument shown.  The interior of the instrument also contains a sound post, bass bar, corner blocks, end block, and neck block, as well as the linings throughout, around the whole interior curvature of the instrument.  The top of each instrument is made of spruce, and the rest from maple, other than fittings and strings.  Purfling is found on the edges of the top and back, and is inlaid ebony.
