The violin is an Earth musical instrument used in many styles of compositions, but most commonly associated with classical music.

When Sarek and Perrin visited the Enterprise in 2366, Data played a string piece by Mozart in a concert. (TNG: "Sarek")
When affected by a alien probe, Barclay taught violin technique in the Enterprise music school, much to the surprise of Riker and Crusher. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")
Commander Riker once stated that the Enterprise was "not a violin" when the crew tried to stimulate the vibration of a cosmic string in order to break free from the influence of a two-dimensional lifeform. (TNG: "The Loss")
Data kept a violin in his quarters aboard the Enterprise-D, placed in a shelf. (TNG: "Timescape", "Descent")
