Inputs
For the manufacturing of this violin to take place, it is essential for an industry to have the raw materials. It begins the manufacturing by sheets of wood (raw materials) being cut down into the correct sizes to make each part of the violin.
Processes
After the carpenter has marked out the shape of each piece, he uses a band saw to cut the parts out of wood. When he has done that he needs to sand any more excess wood off to make the parts the right size. He then chisels out wood on one of the parts to make a peg box. He then carves out parralel grooves to give the neck of the violin a nice look. He the uses a rasp to shave the wood down the its correct thickness. After that he drills hole for the tuning pegs into the peg box. He finishes the neck of the violin off by filing and sanding it.
These are only some of the processes included in manufacturing an electric violin.
Outputs
The output of this industry is an well crafted, electric violin.

Hi,
Where does the wood come from to make the violin? Do some countries make better violins than others? are there variations in the design of violins between countries or regions?
PL
Well the violin is made up of 2 types of wood Maple and Walnut.
The maple tree is one of the main trees found in Canada and since this program is produced in America I would have to make an educated guess that the maple wood came from Canada. For the Walnut wood I am not entirely sure and I have had a look at the website where I found this video and there does not seem to be any details as to where its country of origin was.
I would think that germany would probably be the best at making them as they have alot of websites for selling musical instruments but then again, Ireland has alot of wood which would be a good advantage for making an electric violin. Yes there would be different variations in the design of violins as there are so many possibilities of designs for violins and it would be very unusual if all countrie have practically the same design.
