How do you tune a violin with a piano?
The Violin strings are G D A and E. Start with A, the second highest string, it should match the pitch of A above middle C on the piano. Next tune D, the next lower string by matching it to the D just above middle C. The lowest string G is tuned to G below middle C. Now back to E, the highest string. Match it to E above High C which is an octave above middle C. Now your violin is rough tuned. To fine tune it, go back to A and match it to A on the piano again. Do the rest by ear. Tune the D string by playing both the A and D strings together and listen for the beats or wavering in the tone and tune the D string till the wavering/beating stops. Tune the G string to the D the same way, then go up to the E and tune it with the A string until the beating stops. You really only need the A to start with but using all the piano notes helps if you are a beginner. Tune your violin every day and it will only need fine tuning. You can also use a tuning fork or better an electronic tuner but a fine tuning is best done by ear.

A D string does not cost a lot of money it costs about $15.00 to $20.00. When you go to the music store make sure to bring the violin so the professional can put the string on.

When a violin string of a certain length is set in vibration it will produce a certain pitch Under the same conditions a string half as long will produce a pitch one octave lower?
No. A string half as long as a violin string set vibrating will produce a note one octave higher. That is exactly how the violin is played. When the violinist moves his hand up and down the fingerboard, he is literally shortening the strings making the notes higher or lengthening them to make them lower. The lowest note a violin can reach is the open G string. That is the G below middle C. Pressing down on that string raises the pitch. When you tune your violin, you tune your A string first and then tune your other strings to that string.

When playing long long ago variation on violin does your d string have to out of tune?
It doesn't have to be out of tune if that's what you mean! But, maybe you should just check the tuning before you start practicing. The strings don't usually go out of tune that quickly unless they are new but if you have a tuning device, the letter names of the notes should be (from lowest to highest): G, D, A and E. If you don't know how to tune a violin maybe ask someone who does know, maybe a violin teacher, to do it for you just in case one of the strings snaps while tuning.

You can order a violin online at eBay (from Mendini, they are best, in my opinion, as I ordered mine from them) or at your local music store, whether they have to order it or not.
