Violin

Violin is a natural sign. Take your non-dominant hand, hold it up in a fist, and lift your entire arm with a slight crook at the elbow, to mimic holding the violin up on your shoulder. Then take your dominant hand and form it into a modified ASL letter X sign as you pretend to play the bow over the violin strings.

Remember to also tilt your head to the shoulder side where the violin is resting. This is to mimic a real violinist's complete actions.
