Violin
For the Anne Rice novel, see Violin (novel) The violin is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which also includes the viola and cello. (The inclusion of the double bass in the family is disputed.)A violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, no matter what kind of music is played on it. The word "violin" comes to us through the Romance languages from the Middle Latin word vitula, meaning "stringed instrument"; this word may also be the source of the Germanic "fiddle".

Violin
To see, or hear a violin in dreams, foretells harmony and peace in the family, and financial affairs will cause no apprehension.

For a young woman to play on one in her dreams, denotes that she will be honored and receive lavish gifts.

If her attempt to play is unsuccessful, she will lose favor, and aspire to things she never can possess.

A broken one, indicates sad bereavement and separation.
