 * The fiddle or commonly known as the violin, is a four stringed instrument, turned in perfect 5ths. It is the highest pitched and smallest member of the Violin family, which also includes viola, cello and the double bass. It was created in the 16th century and since then has developed into the modern violin we know today. The oldest documented four stringed violin was around 1555 in Italy. Other violins had been documented much earlier but only had three strings and were called violetta. **
