How many strings are there on a violin?

Four



How many strings are there on a violin?extension



There are 4 strings on the violin



the lowest is - G



next is -D



next is A- 440-



highest is E



If you want to compare other string instruments:



The viola has 4 also;



Also, cat gut connects the tailpiece to the end button. That is definitely not a string that you play.



The bow that you use does not have strings , it is hair, either of horsetail or synthetic.



It's lowest isC



next is--------G same as violin's lowest string



next is--------D same as violin



next is -------A same as



cello- has same strings as viola- but lower.



Double Bass has same strings as violin, but backwards and much lower. ist lowest is E , then A, then D, then G



Violin , viola, and cello are tuned by perfect fifths.



The Double Bass is tuned by fourths.

Belive it or not..there are five,the 4 you draw the bow across and cord then there is ONE that attacts the tail to the body,its not metal its cat gut or leather .. check it out..you said strings...
Four but I have seen some that have five. I guess it is like putting five strings on an electric bass.
Four. Left to right - G, D, A and E!
4 and i play the violin
four
four string
4 - from lowest to highest - G, D, A, E.
Well, I guess you're gonna hear somewhat of the same answer, but let me go a little further.



The four strings everyone has mentioned are E, A, D, and G. That much we all agree on. A 5-string violin also has the next fifth down, so the lowest string would be a C. There are electric violins that actually have 6 strings. The lowest string on these would be an F. And (are you ready for this) Mark Wood, of Wood Violins, has invented a 7-string violin which he calls the Viper. B-Flat for the low string on this baby!

And when it comes to tuning, don't forget that alternative tunings are also possible. Just like with a guitar, many folk fiddlers use non-traditional tunings. And you'll often find fiddlers who have two instruments on stage with them during performances because they are tuned to different notes.



Hope that helps.
