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: 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.

This tuning system makes it easier to shift positions across the fingerboard.

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
