The Violin Bend it a rather nifty way of joining the two ends of a rope together. This particular bend is easy to tie however. be aware that it can be rather difficult to untie after it has been heavily loaded. I think the knot is named more because it is shape a bit like a violin, rather than being used on a violin.
There are probably far better bends out there, such as the;
