history: Hi, I love the sound of the violin.  How do you tune a violin?
knowledge: The violin typically has four strings tuned in perfect fifths, and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across its strings, though it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers (pizzicato) and by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow (col legno).
response: I don't know the specific procedure, but the four strings are tuned in perfect fifths.

I don't know the specific procedure, but the four strings are tuned in perfect fifths.
That's neat. What are violin strings usually made out of?
knowledge: The tension and type of strings, placement and tension of the sound post, quality of the bow, and the construction of the body, all contribute to the loudness and tonal quality of the sound.
response: I'm not sure, actually, but the type, as well as tension, of the strings affects the way the instrument sounds.

How much does it usually cost to have strings put on a violin?
knowledge: The fittings are the tuning pegs, tailpiece and tailgut, endpin, possibly one or more fine tuners on the tailpiece, and usually a chinrest, either attached directly over the tailpiece or to the left of it.
response: I couldn't really say, but there are various parts, like the tuning pegs, tailpiece, maybe some fine tuners, and some other parts.

Sounds like it might be expensive.  What does one need to do to maintain a violin?
knowledge: Smaller violin-type instruments are known, including the violino piccolo and the kit violin, but these are virtually unused.
response: I'm probably not the best system to ask for that information. There are some smaller violin-like instruments, like the violino piccolo, but they are very rarely used.
