You can stretch the strings to a chromatic step or higher on a guitar. I never tried it on a violin so I can't answer to that.

Why do different strings make different pitches?
Guitar strings sound diffrent simply because of the diffrent manufacturers manufacturing different guitar strings. An experienced guitar player knows the manufacturers ID (which is usually written on the guitar string package) and only buys guitar strings from that specific manufacturer. Of course there are other factors explaining how diffrent guitar string manufactuers make their guitar strings, but that starts getting to complicated.
What is a definition of scale of guitar?
The 'scale' of a guitar refers to the average string length between the bridge and the nut of the guitar (this is the average length because intonation at the bridge means that not all the strings are identical in length from nut to bridge).
Will the thicker or thinner of two guitar strings of the same tension and length vibrate at the higher frequency?
Thinner
What does 24.75 scale guitar mean?
I believe this means that the length of the strings between the nut and the bridge is 24.75 inches.
What feature of sound are you adjusting if you tighten or loosen guitar strings?
Tightening the strings increases the pitch, loosening them lowers it. This is because you are changing the length of the string as you turn the tuning pegs.

Why does a bass guitar create lower notes than a violin and it's not just length?
Length, size and looseness and size of strings.

Thinner
How does a guitar get automatically not tuned?
Temperature changes and vibrations can cause strings to change in length or tuning pegs to move.

What is the recommended length of a guitar string?
the length of the guitar string does not matter, what does matter is the size. what size you use depends on what you play and how well you play. Heavier strings are better for blues and lighter strings are better for metal and rock, lighter stings are easier to do bends on. i would recomend and 11 which is in the middle

Can you put violin strings on a guitar?
Yes, if the gauges are similarly matched to a set of standard guitar strings made for that particular guitar. Violin strings are flatwound, so the tone would be more muted, nice for an archtop jazz guitar. Normal modern guitar strings are roundwound, making the tone brighter and more zingy.
Why is the guitar in the strings family?
because it has STRINGS and freats.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------String instruments have strings stretched over a box or board. The violin, guitar and banjo are string instruments. Sound is made by plucking the strings. (The piano is a percussion instrument because its strings are struck.)The pitch of these instruments depends on the length, thickness and tightness of the strings. The longer the string, the fewer the vibrations and, therefore, the lower the pitch.Tight, thin strings make sounds with high tones. Loose, thick strings make lower tones.
What is a guitar capo?
Guitar capo is a guitar in a high octave ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AH-no. A capo is a device that attaches to the neck and bars all the strings. The advantage here is the ability to move the capo up and down the neck. There are real fancy ones that allow you to create a chord, not sure what you'd do with it though.
Do the frets on a guitar make the sound?
The frets don't nessicarily make the noise, but the tension on the frets as you get higher on the fretboard is what makes the noise. It's the strings that make the sound. They vibrate when you pluck them producing a sound. The sound is amplified in the body of the guitar(acoustic guitar). The frets enable you to vary the length of the strings thus making them produce a different sound.
