No. If you tighten the string, the pitch will get higher and if you do it too much, the string may break. You need to loosen the string to make it lower.

The piccolo has a higher pitch than the violin. It is a small woodwind instrument that sounds an octave higher than a concert flute, making it one of the highest-pitched instruments in the orchestra. In contrast, the violin has a range that is higher than many string instruments but is still lower than that of the piccolo. Therefore, the piccolo is considered to be higher in pitch compared to the violin.

Highest pitched in the string family?

The highest-pitched instrument in the string family is the violin. It produces bright, high-frequency sounds and is often used as the lead instrument in orchestras and string quartets. The violin's range typically spans from G3 to E7, allowing it to play both melodic and virtuosic passages. Other string instruments, like the viola or cello, have lower ranges, making the violin distinctively higher in pitch.


What is the frequency of a violin?

Here are the frequency, in Hertz, of the violin's four strings in order from lowest to highest: G: 196 Hz D: 293.66 Hz A: 440 Hz E: 659.25 Hz The G at 196 Hz is the lowest pitch on the violin (though a very rare and unconventional technique call subharmonics allows for a player to go below that). On each string the violin can theoretically attain as high a pitch as the violinist desires, but in practical terms, a pitch two octaves and a fifth above the fundamental (the open string with no fingers laid down). It is possible to go higher on the string, but it is very rarely, if ever, used, and it is extremely difficult to produce good tone at such extremes.
