"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

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.
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.[1] Violins were also played in the 1994 Yule Ball of the Triwizard Tournament.[2]
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.[3]
