Welcome to the piano forum. I'm not sure, but I heard that Stradivarius made a pretty good instrument.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I don't know anything about violins, but there a few members that do. Perhaps you'll get a response.

Cheers

When you ask about string instruments, bear in mind that the piano is a string instrument.

It is also a percussion instrument.
