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.

How can you change the pitch produced by a vibrating string?

To raise the pitch (frequency), put more tension on one end of the string. To lower the pitch, put less tension on one end of the string. For instance, on a guitar, tighten the string for a higher pitch. Loosen the string for a lower pitch. Additionally, if you have a guitar string already mounted and tensioned. You may place your finger in the middle of the string, and the pitch will go up one octave. Each time you halve a tensioned string, it produces a pitch one octave higher.
