Find violin classes near me in Markinch

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: It provides a warm, resonant sound ideal for expressive playing.
• 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.

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

Once you can tune and recognise each string, you can start building finger patterns.
