== The violin is made up of many parts, we will start from the scroll and end and work down

1. The Scroll - this is the head or the curled part and the top of the instrument 2. The peg box and pegs - this is where the pegs enter the instrument - the pegs are used to tune the strings which are attached to them.

3. The neck -this is normally made from maple

3a. The Fingerboard - this is normally made from Ebony and sits on top of the maple neck. 4. The Back - this is made from either one or two pieces of figured wood, normally maple 5. The Ribs - made from the same wood as the back this curls around the violin and define the depth of the instrument 6. The Belly - Normally made from finely grained spruce 7. The bridge - holds the strings above the fingerboard and belly 8. The F Holes - The F shaped cut outs in the belly 9. The sound post - this is inside the violin and is a small post that connects the back to the belly. Also know as "the soul" of the violin

10. The Tail piece - holds the strings from the chin end of the fiddle

11. The Endpin - the button at the chin end that the tail piece is connected to

12. The chinrest - where the chin sits while playing

13. The purfling - these are the black lines that go around the edges of the

instrument, they are made by inserting strips of wood (ebony/rosewood etc) into gouged out lines.

14. The C Bouts - the curved in parts on the sides of the violin

15. Fine Tuners - normally found on starter instruments, these are used for small tuning adjustments.

The parts of a cello are: First, the pegs on the very top are tuning pegs. They are used to change the pitch of the strings. Second, the long part connecting the tuning pegs and the body of the cello is called the neck. On the neck is a black piece of plastic called the fingerboard. On the fingerboard are the strings ans you probably know. Follow the strings down the cello until you reach a piece of wood that is called the bridge. this is used for holding the strings up above the cello so you can play them. Next to the bridge in the body of the cello are 2 holes that look like a cursive f. These are called the F Holes. Next, below the bridge are some smaller pegs near the bottom of the cello. These are the fine tuners. They are used for changing the sound of the string from sharp to flat. then at the bottom of the cello is a peg that can be pulled out. This is the called the spike and can be called many other things. Those are most of the parts of the cello. If you are starting to play the instrument, I hope you have fun. I have been playing the cello for 4 years with no regrets. Good Luck!
