The left hand is responsible for altering the pitch by pressing down on the strings at specific points along the fingerboard.
Vibrato is produced by rocking the finger that is pressing a string on the fingerboard to slightly alter the pitch, adding warmth to the sound.
A double stop involves playing two notes at the same time, one on each of two adjacent strings, creating harmony.
Rosin is applied to the bow hair in order to increase friction, allowing the bow to grip the strings and produce sound.
Staccato bowing produces short and detached notes, in contrast to the smooth connection of legato notes.
The tailpiece anchors the strings at the lower end of the violin, keeping them secured and in place.
Pizzicato involves plucking the strings with fingers, producing a lighter, more percussive sound compared to bowing.
A practice mute is used to dampen the sound of a violin, allowing quiet practice without disturbing others.
The frog is that part of the bow where the player holds it, and it connects the hair to the stick, allowing tension adjustment via the screw.
