Best Answer

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.

No, because of the strings weight and length, they are caused to be either high or low.

What is the effect of tension on the pitch of a violin string?

Violin strings are held on a violin with tuning pegs. The pegs are then turned until the strings reach the correction tension. The correct tension is when the strings are in tune. Adding more tension to a string by turning the pegs will increase the pitch and turning the pegs in the opposite direction will lower the pitch. The strings on a violin are tuned to the notes G D A E from lowest to highest.
