What is the highest to lowest in the instrument families?
The violin is the stringed instrument with the highest pitch. The viola is slightly lower, and it is followed by the cello, and then finally the double bass. The double bass is the lowest string instrument found in an orchestra.
Does a long string on an instrument make a low pitch sound?
It depends on the thickness of the string. But the longer the string, the lower the note
Does the viola have a lower sound then the violin?
No, a viola is not smaller than a violin. The smaller the instrument, the higher the noise. Same with the comparison with the flute and the trombone. The viola is marginally larger.
What is the musical instrument that is tuned one-fifth lower than a violin?
The viola is the instrument slightly lower than the violin. Its strings (from lowest to highest) are C, G, D and A, whereas the strings on a violin (also from lowest to highest) are G, D, A and E. String instruments from highest to lowest are: Violin Viola Cello Double Bass
How can violin produce high pitch sounds?
A stringed instrument creates notes (sounds at certain frequencies) because the string vibrate at a particular frequency. The frequency at which the string vibrates depends on several factors: the mass of the string material; the tension of the string, and the length of the string. The following result in lower frequencies: more mass (the lower strings are thicker and therefore have more mass), less tension (the lower strings are tightened up a little less than the higher strings), and more string length. The violinist adjusts the tension of each string when tuning the instrument. To play different notes, there are 4 strings (lowest is G, then D, A and highest is E). So by pressing his fingers on the string to shorten the length, a higher frequency note is produced. When the violinist gets to half the distance of the original length, the frequency is doubled, and the note is one octave above the natural string note. At this point, the note letter is the same as the original note, one octave below.
Is the string family the lowest group of instrument's?
No. Wind instruments and drums are much lower.
Can a string instrument play a note which is deeper?
Deeper than what? It's typical lowest note? If that's it, than yes, you just have to drop the tuning lower.
What string instrument plays the lower notes?
The Cello or the Bass.

How do you lower the volume of a string or brass instrument?
A mute must be used. They cost around £5 from any music shop, and can be clipped into the instrument.
