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: This string bridges the bass and treble registers.
• A string: It sits just below the highest string and is tuned to 440 Hz in standard pitch.
• E string: It requires precise finger placement because small errors become very audible.

This tuning system makes it easier to shift positions across the fingerboard.

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