I suggest going to your violin teacher because beginners could pop a string. Or go to Quinlan and Fabish, they do it for free.

When playing long long ago variation on violin does your d string have to out of tune?

It doesn't have to be out of tune if that's what you mean! But, maybe you should just check the tuning before you start practicing. The strings don't usually go out of tune that quickly unless they are new but if you have a tuning device, the letter names of the notes should be (from lowest to highest): G, D, A and E. If you don't know how to tune a violin maybe ask someone who does know, maybe a violin teacher, to do it for you just in case one of the strings snaps while tuning.


How do you tune a violin with a piano?

The Violin strings are G D A and E. Start with A, the second highest string, it should match the pitch of A above middle C on the piano. Next tune D, the next lower string by matching it to the D just above middle C. The lowest string G is tuned to G below middle C. Now back to E, the highest string. Match it to E above High C which is an octave above middle C. Now your violin is rough tuned. To fine tune it, go back to A and match it to A on the piano again. Do the rest by ear. Tune the D string by playing both the A and D strings together and listen for the beats or wavering in the tone and tune the D string till the wavering/beating stops. Tune the G string to the D the same way, then go up to the E and tune it with the A string until the beating stops. You really only need the A to start with but using all the piano notes helps if you are a beginner. Tune your violin every day and it will only need fine tuning. You can also use a tuning fork or better an electronic tuner but a fine tuning is best done by ear.
