A violin has four strings tuned to the notes G, D, A and E, from lowest to highest.

• G string: The lowest and thickest string, producing a rich, warm tone.
• D string: The second-lowest string, often used for melodic passages.
• A string: This is often the first string beginners learn to play on.
• E string: It requires precise finger placement because small errors become very audible.

The interval between each pair of strings is a perfect fifth.

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
