Die Violine oder Geige ist ein zu den Kastenhalslauten gehörendes Streichinstrument. Ihre vier Saiten (g – d1 – a1 – e2) werden hauptsächlich mit den Haaren eines Bogens gestrichen (italienisch coll’arco), selten mit der Stange desselben (italienisch col legno) oder den Bogenhaaren geschlagen (ital. battuto) oder auch mit den Fingern gezupft (italienisch pizzicato). In der Tradition der klassischen europäischen Musik spielt dieses Instrument eine herausragende Rolle. In allen Epochen der Musikgeschichte seit Erscheinen der Violine wurden bedeutende Werke für sie geschrieben. Violinen werden von Geigenbauern hergestellt.
