From low to high, a violin is tuned G – D – A – E, each string a perfect fifth apart.

• 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: This steel string produces the most projecting sound.

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

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.

Some tutors provide a free trial lesson so you can check compatibility.

The violin has a steep learning curve, but consistent practice brings steady progress.

• Fretless fingerboard: Even a millimetre off can make a note sound sharp or flat.
