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

• G string: It sits closest to the chin and gives the violin its dark, mellow voice.
• D string: This string bridges the bass and treble registers.
• A string: This is often the first string beginners learn to play on.
• E string: This steel string produces the most projecting sound.

Each string is tuned a perfect fifth above the one below it.

Knowing the open strings is essential before learning any scales or pieces.
