The lowest note is the G below middle C.

The highest note is a trickier question to answer, as it depends partly on the skill level of the violinist. Those who have not yet learnt to shift (move the hand up the fingerboard so higher notes may be played) are limited to four notes above the E of the violin's highest string, this being as far as a violinist's fingers go before they shift.

However, if you can shift, you can go much higher. I tried to find out how high I could go the other day and ended up just a few notes below the top note of a standard piano. It didn't sound very nice though......

For practical playing, the limit is probably about two octaves above the violin's highest string.

How many strings do modern string instruments have?

The classical string instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass normally have 4 strings. Violin: E(highest), A, D, G(lowest); Viola: A(highest), D, G, C(lowest); Cello: A(highest), D, G, C(lowest) but all 4 are an octave below the viola. Bass: G(highest), D, A, E. The high G string on the bass is the same note as the G string (2nd to lowest string) on the cello. Some double basses are configured with 5 strings, either with a B below the low E, or a C above the high G. An electric bass (sometimes called bass guitar) has the same 4 notes as the string bass. A guitar has 6 strings and some have 12 strings (I don't remember the notes for these). I think a banjo has 5 strings.
