How low can a violin play?
A violin's lowest note is the open G below middle C. The only under-chin stringed instrument that can play lower is the Viola, which plays the open C (1 octave below middle C) as it's lowest note. The only exception to this is the Electric violin/viola, which can have as many as 7 strings, the lowest being a B flat 2 octaves below middle C.
Is a viola higher or lower than a violin?
I play the viola, and it is lower than the violin. It has four strings like a violin, but on the violin, the strings are G, D, A, and E. On the viola, the strings are C, G, D, and A. So the viola can do four notes lower than the violin. I prefer the tone on the viola to the violin. It is also a bigger instrument than a violin, even though it is held the same way. If you are wondering whether to switch from the violin to the viola, you definitely should, in my opinion. It was one of the best things I did musically! The viola is better :)
A violin is b flat instrument what is a viola?
Violins are NOT b-flat instruments. A violin is a C instrument (like a flute or piano). A viola is also a C instrument. The viola is larger and can play a fifth lower than the violin. Violin strings highest to lowest: e, A, D, G. Viola strings highest to lowest: A, D, G, C. Same A, D, and G pitched strings.
Where is a C note on a violin?
3rd finger on the G-string, and the 2nd half-step finger on the A-string. You would have to go in fourth position to play the third C on the E-string.
What are the four strings on a violin?
the strings on a violin are G;D;A;E. IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO MEMORIZE!!! Actually, the string names on the violin is G,D,A,E. But for violas it is C,G,D,A. They do not have the same strings, and people often get those two confused. NOTE: Left handed violins are reversed, Just to let you know. Even though most left handed players use Right handed violins, but if you're one of the few who simply cannot play right handed, well... In all, left handed violins are such a rip.. -_- ($400)

Why does middle c on a piano sound different from the same note on a violin?
They should both be playing the same pitch, if that is a problem then they are "out of tune." Each different instrument makes a different sound because the strings vibrate differently creating different harmonics. Also, the piano string is struck by a hammer and the violin string is played by drawing a bow across it, causing it to vibrate.
What is the difference between the cello and the violin?
The Violin is the smallest instrument in the string family, it also has the highest pitch. The violin and cello are similar, both have four strings tuned in perfect 5th intervels. The violin's lowest note is the first G below middle C and the cello's lowest note is 2 octaves below middle C. Both instruments can be played with a bow or plucked by the strings. Different bows and strings are used to play the instruments. For example the cello bow is much thicker than the violin bow. Cello has a range comparable to a tenor, and violin has a range comparable to a soprano and is the closest instrument to the human voice. A Violin is more portable, however a cello can also be transported. Depending on the size and quality a violin and a cello can cost about the same, but usually a cello and its accessories are a bit more. For example, a really nice cello would cost more than a violin of the same quality because it costs more to make.
Why are the string order on the violin messed up?
The string order is not messed up. They are placed within a perfect fifth or each other, making the violin easier to play. The order of the strings is: G, D, A, and E. G+4=D, D+4=A, and A+4=E. If the strings were placed like A, B, C, D, the violin would be impossibly hard to figure out.

Violins have how many strings?
The violin has four strings. These are G, D, A, and E going from the lowest to the highest notes. Violins are tuned in perfect fifths, meaning the tone that each open string produces is five notes higher than the string below it. The lowest note that a violin can produce on an open string is a G below middle C, and the D string is 5 notes directly above this.
