Violin Video Lesson: Violin Basics: So do you know...

So do you know where sound comes from?
Where sound comes from on the violin?
What I mean by that is have you ever wondered how the sound is made on the violin?
And no I don't mean by using the bow!
OK well first of all we need to know that sound is produced when an object vibrates the air around it.
So to make that happen on the violin, it works like this.
First of all the first object that we need to make vibrate is the string.
We do this by plucking or bowing it and doing this makes the bridge vibrate.
And the bridge takes that vibration and transmits it to the top of the violin.
Now that the top is vibrating we need to be sure that its doing so all over.
This is where the bass bar comes in. Its attached to the bottom side of the top and distributes the vibrations equally throughout.
Now the vibration from the top is given to the sound post which transmits the vibration to the back of the violin.
At this point the whole violin is vibrating and this causes the air inside the violin to vibrate, as I said it should at the beginning, and this creates a sound.
To get out of this box, the interior of the violin, the sound comes out through the F holes.
And just like that the violin sounds.
