well the tighter it is means it is stretching a lot so it make is harder to make noise but if it is quite loose it makes a big loud hard noise cause it is not struggling.

What are the two ways a musical sound cam be made on a violin?
Using the bow or plucking the string.
What sound does a bow string make?
Vibration sound.It makes somewhat of a twang sound. The tightness of the string changes the pitch of the twang.
What makes a violin string higher in quality than another violin string?
It depends on the company who made the string. Different companies use different materials and methods of making strings.
Why does the violin have the highest pitch?
I assume you mean, highest of the string family. It is the smallest of the 4 orchestral stringed instruments (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), and is therefore able to produce the highest-pitched sounds. The shorter the string which is made to vibrate, the higher its sound.
How many strings does a violine have?
A normal violin has 4 strings.Starting with the lowest sounding string, the strings are normally tuned to the following notes:the G below 'Middle C'the D above 'Middle C'the A above 'Middle C'the E above that A.To get the best possible sound from the instrument each string must be made a different thickness. The lowest sounding string is the thickest and the highest sounding string is the thinnest.A normal violin has 4 strings.

Why is the treble string of a violin made of steel?
to make the string make a low pitch sound

What is the wavelength of a sound made by a violin string that has a frequency of 640 Hz if the sound is traveling at 350 meters per second?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)

Who played the violin?
:) The first violin was played by a man name reyno dankwa and he was 14 years old and he made the violin aswell out of wood and string :)

What the sound of violin?
It can make a high or low sound with the different strings. If you look up on a website called youtube, you might want to try searching in the search box, and type 'violin' (without the quotations of course). You will see what it sound like. Unless you cannot hear very well, it makes a similar type of ringing noise, almost.
How does a violin generate sound?
A violin works just like every other string instrument, so this applies to all of them. The bow, which is pulled across the strings, is made most often of horsehair. Because the horse hair is coarse, it catches on the strings. Rosin is used to help it catch, as rosin is sticky. The bow pulls across the string, causing it to vibrate. When you place a finger down, you shorten the string, causing the vibration to get smaller and higher. The strings are stretched across a wooden structure called a bridge. It connects the strings to the body, so the vibrations can be amplified within in. There are also sound posts withing the violin, under the bridge, to help transfer the vibrations to the back of the violin, so the sound coats the entirety of the violin. The sound is then released through the F-holes, and also straight from the string. That is about how a violin works. There is a lot more physics involved, but very complicated.
