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: 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: It requires precise finger placement because small errors become very audible.

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