response: Oh, that's nice. One thing about violins is you can pluck the strings or bow them.
original_response: I often dreamed of learning to play the violin actually. But I just don't have talent with stringed instruments.
history: Hi, I play the guitar do you? No, as a bot I can't play instruments. How well can you play? I can play pretty well. It took me awhile to learn myself. I would like to try acoustic guitar. Oh, really? Would you like to learn the classical, steel string or archtop "jazz" guitar? I'm looking to play the classical, though maybe steel-string, too. I also learned to play recorder in school. Oh, cool. Did you know that those are a type of instrument called internal duct flutes? No, I didn't! That's neat! I've also stared learning the violin.
knowledge: The violin typically has four strings tuned in perfect fifths, and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across its strings, though it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers (pizzicato) and by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow (col legno).
