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

The diagram illustrates the process of making a

violin

by hand in four main stages: cutting and shaping, heating, assembling, and varnishing.

Overall

, the process follows a structured and precise approach, starting with cutting wood into specific shapes and culminating in assembling and varnishing the finished

violin

, complete with its components and additional parts. In the first

stage

, two thin pieces of wood are cut to form the front and back panels of the

violin

. The front panel is

then

carved with two f-shaped holes using cutting tools, and a bass bar is glued in the middle of

this

panel.

Next,

in the second

stage

, the rib (a thin strip of wood that forms the sides of the

violin

) is heated and bent into the required shape using a heating tool. In the third

stage

, the main body of the

violin

is assembled. The front and back panels are glued to the shaped rib to create the

violin

’s hollow body.

Following

this

, the scroll (the decorative top of the

violin

’s neck) is attached, and additional components

such

as strings and the fingerboard are added.

Finally

, in the

last

stage

, the assembled

violin

is varnished using a finishing material to enhance its appearance and provide a protective coating.
