The diagram below shows the process of making a violin by hand. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The schematic representation illustrates the process by which the

violin

is constructed by hand.

Overall

, it takes 8 steps to make a

violin

from scratch.

Initially

, a saw is used to cut the precise shape of the

violin

from a thin piece of wood. The same process is repeated again so that both the back and the

front

parts are cut out.

Following

this

, a cutting tool is used to carve 2 f-holes (mirror images of each other) on the

front

part. The bass bar is

then

glued to the middle of the

front

part. The next step involves a heating tool, which is used to curve unshaped rib strips into a variety of ribs with different curvatures.

Subsequently

, the body of the

violin

is made by glueing the

front

and back parts to either side of the ribs. In the final stages, the neck with a scroll is attached to the body of the

violin

, and additional parts

such

as strings are nailed into the assembled

violin

.

Lastly

, the piece is coated with varnish, forming a completed

violin

ready for use. In conclusion, to construct a

violin

a variety of tools are required which include wood, a saw, a cutting tool, glue, ribs, etc.
