In written violin music, how often do you have to play two notes simultaneously? Do you ever play 3?

I was wondering if written violin music only required the player to play one note at a time or if there are regular times when you play 2? I’m supposing you can only play 2 notes at a time max because I don’t believe you can touch more than 2 strings at a time with the bow. Is this correct and how often do you play 2 strings at a time?

How often should you change your violin strings and replace your bow hair?

I don’t really remember but it’s probably been at least a few years since I first got my full size violin and I’ve never changed the strings but I have gotten a new bow. I think my orchestra teacher told me to change my strings but they seem perfectly fine to me.

What are some definite signs that show I need to change my strings or replace my bow hair? Or how often should I change both?

How often should I polish my Violin?

I’m wondering how often I should polish my violin. I play it at school every day and the rosin can build up under the strings by the bridge if I forget to wipe it after I play (this happens often).

The violin is 93 years old. It has a nice pale-orange varnish on it.

I have a bottle of polish that my mom bought. It has Fiddlebrite written on it. I’m not sure if I should use it on this violin or not.
I’d also like some suggestions on what kind of violin polish to use, Thanks.
