The scroll is found on “head” of the violin. It is the intricately-carved tip which, as its name suggests, is shaped like a scroll. Aside from its most obvious aesthetic-purpose, most orchestra musicians use the scroll to hang their violins on their music stands during long breaks between pieces - like a movement-long break. Luthiers also use the scroll to hang newly-varnished violins to let dry.
