The front of a violin is most often made from a high quality spruce, the tighter the grain on this, the higher the quality.

The back, Ribs, Neck and Scroll are most often made from Maple.

The fingerboard, pegs and the purfling (the lines around the edge) are made from Ebony or sometimes rosewood.

The fittings (pegs, chin-rest, tail-piece) can be made of many different things from plastics to Ebony, Rosewoods, Box Wood, Snake Wood etc.

The bow is made from Brazil Wood, Pernumbuco, or carbon fiber depending on quality and is haired with horse hair.
