I believe we've all experienced it. People write articles and essays about it. It fills vast orchestras and intimate chamber music. From klezmir to heavy metal, rock to commercials, TV shows, radio programs, improv groups, solo and harmony, it's everywhere, but what is it?
I recently found this article summarizing a study conducted by MIT in partnership with the North Bennett Street School violin making program in Boston, MA. (Here is the article: http://phys.org/news/2015-02-key-features-boost-violins-acoustic.html)
One thing is certain. The Sound of the violin-family is fascinating. If you have any experience playing, making, or listening to the violin or any of its relatives, what's your experience, and what makes it so special? All comments welcome!
