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

• G string: This is the deepest string, located on the far left when holding the instrument.
• D string: The second-lowest string, often used for melodic passages.
• A string: It sits just below the highest string and is tuned to 440 Hz in standard pitch.
• E string: This steel string produces the most projecting sound.

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

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
