A sphere might work as well, but you'd have a harder time getting it to look
right, I think. The cylinder provides the curve of the surface, as if you were
looking down the neck of the violin towards the base, then the violinshape
object gives the form of the violin. You don't want the flat surface of a
prism, so a cylinder will have enough curve to it to simulate the bump. I'll
post some images in p.b.i to explain it a bit.
