Violin String Names

Now, I'm going to introduce the open strings to you, in case you don't know them. All right, here we go. First we have a G string. It's our lowest string on the violin. It's also our furthest string to the left. That's our G string. Next we have our D string, one of our middle strings and the second to lowest sounding string on the violin.

So, we have our G, our D, our A, and our E.
