The violin history originated in Italy during the early 1500's. The violin was initially made closely resembling the rebec and fiddle which were both played in the medieval period as bowed stringed instruments. Additionally, the violin also reassembles the "lira da braccio" which is another bowed string instrument which originated in the Renaissance period. Andrea Amati is the person who designed and built the first stringed violin. He became a master instrument player in the year 1525. The original violin had a shorter neck that was very thick and not so angled. The strings of the violin are made from gut and the fingerboard was shorter.
Today, graceful and beautiful violins are still being played in concerts and different events. Instead of producing violins with new materials, with the advancement of science and technology, that recycling centres (http://www.thegreenbook.com/) would be able to produce violins in a large scale that can be sold to public. A full range of violins with a brilliant tone, unique appearance, affordable and can perform to the highest standards will be trendy nationwide. These days, some of Recycling centres (http://www.thegreenbook.com/products/recycling-centres/) are offering handmade musical instruments for orchestras that are made from finest woods with selected base of grain, density, age, strength and beauty such as maple and spruce. The bow of violin can be made from wood stick, and fine horse hair. There are more recycled materials can be used for this kind of violin such as vegetable crates, door molding, fishing line, coconut, PVC and other things can be found rubbish. Violins that are made from recycled materials are perfect for students and beginners violinist. To such violins can be also transformed into electrical ones that are very cool and wonderful, suitable for professional violinists. Handmade orchestras have limited number because not all recycling centres provide them in industry. Here are video sample of an orchestra using musical instruments:
