Meaning
A violin and bow. It stands for classical music, orchestras and strings. Figuratively it carries the world's smallest violin — the sarcastic gesture of pretending to play a tiny violin for someone's trivial complaint. That mocking use is common enough to rival the sincere one, and it is delivered with two fingers and no sympathy whatsoever.
