Abstract
A simplified construction for a violin and bow is disclosed. The violin body is made of two arched panels instead of an enclosed chamber. Strings and neck structures are similar to those of traditional instruments. The bow uses nylon string wrapped in lengthwise loops on the bow shaft so that the strings on both sides of the shaft remove most of the bending stress from the bow shaft. The violin and bow are durable and inexpensive, and are suitable for instructing classes of children in schools.
