lolz this is a lot harder than I thought it is. Please pluck each string separately with out any finger on the fingerboard and from there I could distinguish if it sounds the same.from mine then I will know if its tuned

Hi ThePrayerHotline, I give the pitches in this video: Violin Method: Tuning Your Violin (preparing for violin lesson #1) . Good luck!

[professorV]

Hi Ju1ceem4n, The thickest string is the G, then D, A and E is the thinest.

Hi professor, I'm originally a guitarist so I think I have the 'mindset' and discipline to start to play violin but just to clear something up, unlike the a standard tuning for a guitar (EADGBE from the top/thickest string) is the tuning for a violin EADG or GDAE (from what i've seen on many websites) and is there a huge difference between different violin sizes?

[professorV]

Hi, From thickest string to thinest (lowest pitch to highest or left to right when looking down the fingerboard): GDAE.

A full-size violin is called 4/4. They are all very similar in size.

i had to move my bridge so when i tried to retune my violin , the E string snapped and cut my finger :[

why are violin strings so expensive and guitar strings are so much longer and cheaper

[guitarplayer7694]

Hehe, we guitarist just have to put the string through the post and turn the key.

[valko007]

he spent 10 min talking about tuning a violin, i am glad you are not charging by the hour,

[valko007]

oh wow he make,s it sound like flying a rocket.

[music101R]

Wow epic fail I snapped my string trying to fix the peg the way he said to

[blackturncoat]

It was FIVE MINUTES before this guy plucked the first string! I don't want a history of violins, characteristics of wood or what strings are made of or how to BUILD one, I just want to tune the thing!

[BLacK8KittY]

[CHADSHIN1]

[ChocolateThunder551]

Hello. I'm a 13 year old Student . And I have a Violin I havent played in a while.. Its kinda hard for me to tune it.. Is there like a EVEN easier way?

[unlacedmalkavian]

I broke my E string... while watching this video... epic fail on my part.

[Prodigyviolinist]

I enjoy all your profesional lessons.... Thank you.

[JakkaLakkaDingDing]

It seems each time I tune a string, another one drastically drops in tune, so I can only ever get 3 strings to be slightly in tune. I play guitar and the part at the bottom with the tuning screws on it, reminds me of a floyd rose. Is it anything like that? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
