![]() Professional instruments are setup with only one fine tuner, on the E string. Student instruments typically have fine tuners for all four strings. Standard Tuningįine tuners are a fast and easy way to make small adjustments to the tension, and therefore the pitch, of the strings. Alternate tunings are sometimes used - particularly in Bluegrass and other fiddling styles. From lowest to highest, the pitches are: G 3, D 4, A 4, and E 5. ![]() The strings of the violin are usually tuned in perfect fifths. This type of "bowed" tuning is much more accurate, resulting in exact intervals of a perfect fifth between strings, which in turn results in a beautiful sounding instrument. Advanced players bow the strings while adjusting the pegs with the left hand. The student plucks the strings while tuning and uses the fine tuners at the tailpiece. The most common method for beginners is to find the desired pitches on a piano, tuning fork, pitch pipe, or other source, and to adjust the pitch of the strings to match. The violin is tuned by adjusting the pegs at the top of the instrument or the fine tuners (if installed) at the tailpiece.
