The violin is a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the viola and cello.
History[]
There were violins on display in the shop Flutes and Lutes in Hogsmeade during the 1890–1891 school year.[1] The shopkeeper also worked on one of them at some point.[2] That same year, there was a self-playing violin in a ghost band during a Deathday Party in the Deathday Party Hall at Hogwarts Castle.[3]
During their performance of Something Wicked This Way Comes at the 1993 Start-of-Term Feast, a member of the Hogwarts orchestra played the violin.[4] Violins were also played in the 1994 Yule Ball of the Triwizard Tournament.[5]
Charmed violins could be found in the Muggle Studies Classroom at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[6]
Emanuel Hurwitz, a British violinist, gave a performance of Mozart's Sinfonia Concertanti with his wife Kay, a violist, and the Dollis Chamber Ensemble on Sunday 7 May in a year prior to 1997.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
