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.

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.
