violin strings
E, A, D, G
Violin strings are the four taut cords stretched across a violin that produce sound when bowed or plucked.
They are tuned to G, D, A, and E from lowest to highest.
Originally made of gut, modern strings use steel, synthetic materials, or gut wrapped in metal.
String choice significantly affects tone quality and playing feel.
