     Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
      What is a violin made of? 
        A violin has a soft top, usually spruce or pine wood, while the 
        back is made of some harder wood like maple. 
      How often should I rosin my bow? 
        Evey time you sit down to play, make it a habit to rosin your bow first. 
        A good rule of thumb is to re-apply the rosin once for every hour that 
        you play.
