A platinum fiddle that's just 35 microns in length and 13 microns in width is believed to be the world's smallest violin, measuring just a fraction of a tardigrade or the diameter of an average human hair. But before you get too excited, or ponder the logistics of operating such a tiny instrument, we must unfortunately break the news that it can't be played.

If you can't play it, it's not a violin.

Why do they always use hair?
At these scales that's as meaningful as saying it "can easily fit in Saturn".
