That looks to be a cello or bass.... Violins would have a chin rest.

    Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow

    The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?

    Look, he's trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it's an instrument made for a completely different physiology!

    I tried zooming in on the headstock to see which direction the tuners point, but the image is all fucky.

    On the shoulders alone, I'd say it's probably a cello although there are basses with round shoulders.
