Violin

Violins were a type of small stringed musical instruments.

Description
Violins were approximately in length and had four, occasionally five, strings. These strings created mellow musical tones when they were stroked with a bow. Playing the instrument involved tucking it under one's chin, near the collarbone, holding it with one hand while they worked the bow with the other.

Races

 * Violins were a greatly favored instrument among elves, who loved their mellow sound.

Settlements & Nations

 * The cities of Waterdeep and Selgaunt harbored craftsmen, many of whom were elven, capable of making high-quality violins. They could be ordered from Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, from which master-quality violins were also available for special orders and custom prices.
