Question

Why do simple melodies typically sound better on the violin?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Every musical note played on an instrument is played at a certain frequency. This frequency is not exact but moreso a bell curve. Violins have a wider bell curve leading too a smoother sound when played correctly.

So violins tend to sound nicer for simple melodies as the notes blend better together. It is sort of the equivalent of listening to MP3 audio (piano) Vs lossless audio (violin)
