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]
