It is mostly easy to play doublestops on the violin because the strings are small and the tension is light.
However, the claim that it is easier to play double stops on the violin than any other instrument is open for debate.
Many instruments, including bowed string instruments, have been designed specifically for playing doublestops or chords. Some of these have diminished in use over the centuries, one was a "flash in the pan". For instance, the viola da gamba family, a bowed, fretted family of instruments used through the renaissance and baroque periods (and now, because of the Renaissance and Baroque revivals) are ideally suited for playing double stops and chords. During Schubert's time (classical era), an instrument called the Arpeggione was designed and built, and Schubert wrote a sonata for it (as did some other composers.) It was fretted like a guitar, had over 2 octaves of frets, and bowed and held like a 'cello. It appears (from chords written in Schubert's sonata) to have been tuned like a guitar as well.
Additionally, unless the definition of double stops is limited to be "two notes played on a violin family instrument," many other instruments can play more than one fingered note at the same time. In the string family, nearly every instrument with more than one string can do this. Many Asian instruments which are bowed and have more than one string have a lively repertory with doublestops included. Some of these are intended for double-stopping, rather than just playing single notes, and are much easier to play doublestops on.
Further, an argument can be made that the larger members of the string family are easier to play doublestops on, because, while the violin requires less pressure, the larger instruments require less accuracy. With longer string lengths, a physical "miss" of a milimeter has much less out-of-tune effect on a cello than it does on a violin!
violin is more lighter than the other stringed instruments ....it combine to other Musical Instruments
The viola is the most compact string instrument.
nothing of the above is a string instrument which is played with a bow a brass intrument:trompet a string percussion:the greek (santouri) Most people classify the violin as a string instrument.
Simple. The answer is a violin or fiddle. The violin is a hard and a challenging instrument to play but as soon as you learned how to play it, you will realized it is the best instrument to play.
The violin is said to be the most diversely expressive instrument, second only to the human voice.
The are many string instruments. Believe or not, piano is a string intruments. we also have the violin family. There is hundred string instruments. In the related links box below, I posted the wikipedia article.

string instruments, viola, violin, cello, etc...
The violin is said to be the most diversely expressive instrument, second only to the human voice.
there are many types of string instruments but the most common are found in orchestras. they are the Violin, cello and the bass. other string instruments include, the harp, guitar, and although most do not know it, the piano is a string instrument.
It is most commonly a musical instrument like a flute, violin or saxophone. It can also be like a instrument is like a tool.
That depends, although sonata's are always for one or a very small group of instruments. Most commonly, piano solo, violin and piano, cello and piano, flute and piano, a wind instrument, a string instrument and a piano... It varies.. But its always a small ensemble.

Violin Viol Cello Double Base Harp Piano Harpsicord Virginal And most commonly (electric) Guitar. They all contain string under tension, that have to be periodically tuned.
The E string, because it is the thinnest.
