Tuning a Violin with a Piano

   Tuning your violin using a Piano or Keyboard is a simple task. It is pretty easy and good for beginners because your only playing open strings on the violin, so you can have a free hand to turn the pegs while the piano and the violin are resonating. It's also better because you can tune each individual string, instead of getting one reference string and tuning the rest of the strings to it.

Open Strings - Down below I will talk about playing Open Strings. To play an Open String means to play a string without fretting anything. So that's why it's called Open.

The picture above shows you each string on the violin, it's same note on the Piano or Keyboard. Just follow the picture for each individual string and tune the string until it matches the keyboard or piano. Just play each string open, you don't have to fret anything. Make sure you use the 'Middle C' on the picture as a reference point so you don't tune your violin an octave too low, or too high.


Congratulations on tuning your violin!

I am a beginner for violin but I also play the guitar and I try to avoid using electric tuners if I can help it. This is a great way to learn if you have a piano at home(which I do :P) So, thank you!

Contractions are acceptable in non-formal writing.Your is a possessive pronoun used as an adjective. Apachegila has as much right as you do to express your opinion on this website. I would also suggest you work on your own English before criticizing others.
