Question

The part of the violin which vibrates while playing it is :

• A. The wire
• B. The box of the violin
• C. Both the wire and the box
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both the wire and the box

Drawing the bow causes the string to vibrate. These vibrations are transferred to the bridge, the front, the soundpost, and the back of the violin. The air inside the hollow body of a violin vibrates at the same frequency.
