The Violin
The violin is a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments.
The lowest string is G2, the G under the central C (C3); the other strings are, in order ascending, D3, A3 and E4.
The scores for violin always use the treble clef, commonly known as violin clef.
A person who makes or repairs violins is called a luthier.
