With your left hand, where ever you place those fingers changes the notes. Such as first finger (index) on the G string (the thickest string) makes a A. Also the individual strings made there own notes. So you can play a G, D, A, and E, just by simply playing each string.

∙ 10y agoThe strings create noise by vibrating. When you press your finger down on a string slightly, it stops vibrating. If you press hard enough on the string against the neck, it can vibrate again. If you are closer to the end that emits the noise, then it will be higher because it is vibrating faster, if you place your fingers closer to the other side the vibrations from the bow, it will be lower, because there is more space and it vibrates larger. On most string instruments, for each inch you go down the neck, the higher the frequency gets by about a half-step (that is, it becomes that much sharper).

What type of a sound does a violin make?
It sounds like an instrument. It plays notes. It's a violin. Go look at violin solos.
Would it be easy to play the violin without knowing the notes?
no not really i guess you could make up a song but you wouldn't know what notes you were playing and it wouldn't sound as good as a written song but it is really easy to learn how to play the violin
What the piano can do what violin cannot do?
The piano can make lower notes than a violin because a violin is a very high pitched musical instrument. I would say another thing you can do on a piano that you can't do on the violin is the fact that you can play seconds, thirds, fourths and fifths on the piano.
Are the notes for the violin the same on the ukulele?
The notes are going to be the same, but getting them will be different! The strings are different notes then a guitar. If you play the baritone guitar, the strings are normally tuned to the same as the bottom 4 strings of the guitar, so that could be played the same way.There are 4 strings on the ukelele and six on the guitar so it would be different.
How many notes are on the violin?
7 7 is wrong. It has a potentially unlimited number, as there are half-steps infinitely, and you can go as high as you can, which i think is a high C sharp

Is the violin or clarinet harder to play?
Well it depends. In clarinet, you have to blow to get your musical notes. In violin, you have to just move your bow across a string. I would probably say a clarinet is harder. You have to blow and waste your breath!A second Opinion...Well, realistically I would say violin is harder because in clarinet the notes are all there for you. In violin you have to find the notes by ear and shift the position when the music says to. Plus, most violin players do the vibrato. You also have to hold the violin near the shoulder or on it. Clarinet you just have to hold it with hands which is much easier. The violin is also deemed the hardest instrument to play.I disagree. When you play the violin, all you have to do is move your hands. When you play clarinet you have to, controll embachure, cover the holes, and maintain good air. So clarinet is hands down harder.
