One of the most beautiful and expressive instruments in the world of music. It can range from playful and cheeky to sorrowful and breathtaking. It imitates the human voice with its own unique sound. Yes, it takes a while to learn how to play properly - just like any other instrument. And personally, I don't think it sounds like a dying cat at all. Dunno where people get that from...

Euphemism for Thomas Jefferson's penis, made evident by the musical number "He Plays the Violin" from 1776.
"He plays the violin
He tucks it right under his chin
And he bows, oh he bows
For he knows, yes he knows
That it's high-high-high-diddle diddle
Twixt my heart, Tom and his fiddle
My strings are unstrung
High, high, high, high
I am undone
I hear his violin
And I get that feeling within
And I sigh, oh I sigh
He draws near, very near
And it's high-high-high-diddle diddle
Goodbye to the fiddle
My strings are unstrung
High-high-high-high
I'm always undone"
-Martha Jefferson

A beautiful bowed four-stringed instrument (more strings on the Norwegian variety, the Hardanger fiddle or hardingfele) that is incredibly difficult to play well. There are quite a number of musical pieces that show the technical prowess of players of this instrument.

Like a little guitar with a bow. Sounds quite nice is it's played properly, but it's played wrong you feel like smacking the person whos playing it around the head.

The highest instrument in the string family.
Also the only musical instrument that asian children are permitted to play.
