Description
John Mark Ministries: Playing a violin with three strings:
On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an awesome sight.
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair.
Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs,tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play ...

Fiddle Physics: How violins make sound:
The best way to understand how an object makes sound is to bake it tackwards. Sound reaches the ear as repeating waves of compressed and decompressed air. These sound waves are created by something vibrating -- the vocal cords of Howlin' Wolf, the tongs of a tuning fork, the body of a violin. The violin body is stimulated to vibrate by the bridge, which is wedged under the vibrating strings. The strings, in turn, are moved by the bow.
If we want to fake it torwards, the arm moves the bow, which moves the strings, which moves the bridge, which moves the violin body, which moves the air, which moves the ear drum, which makes nerve signals, which cause the brain to instruct the parental yap to whine, "Keep practicing! You're a tad flat!" ...
