So far I created the violins outline. I notice the front and back have a rounded edging. How would I create this? Is there a modifier I can use?

Another "lazy" method is to double your geometry with SHIFT+D (so you can work with it later) and turn it into a curve, then give it a bevel like this:

2$\begingroup$ What's 'Lazy' about that? I'd describe it as 'correct' (maybe using a custom curve for the profile..) :) The face and the trim are separate objects. So, unless for 3D printing, or suchlike, they're better modelled as separate objects. $\endgroup$ Jul 4 at 11:49

From a single edge you can use the Skin modifier, and put a Subdivision Surface modifier to round it:
If you have filled the faces, you can do it with some extrusions. Begin with these two edges on top and side:
Extrude up then extrude on the side:
Pull and scale some edges to make it round:
