National Violin Day, which falls on December 13, is a day of recognizing the cultural impact of the violin. The violin, also known as a fiddle in some instances, dates back to at least the 16th century. From Classical and Orchestral music, to R&B and Rock, the violin's versatility has allowed it to flourish all over the world in a wide variety of genres.
