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: It provides a warm, resonant sound ideal for expressive playing.
• A string: This is often the first string beginners learn to play on.
• E string: The thinnest and highest string, capable of brilliant, singing tones.

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

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
