is there anyone out there who could help with my dumb violin questions?

[harpsichordcarrier]

I have borrowed a student violin, to find my way round it. dd1 wants to learn and I want to be able to help her
I have so far replaced a string and tuned it I think

I have a spare string, and it is labelled "4th" - is this the G string?

more stupid questions may follow

Honestly harpsi....with all that lugging around of your harspichord, you'd think you'd have picked up some of this on your own....

YG if only you lived nearer...
Kerry I need to learn this! I need to be able to tune it etc otherwise it will be a total PITA
anyway how hard can it be

Kerry, she will be five in May. she isn't learning yet.
this is a full size violin, and I am planning to learn to play it

I played the violin for 8 years - my biggest regret is giving it up

It is abeautiful instrument.

I played for many years but gave up in late secondary school but dd1 (9) is now learning and it is all coming back to me very quickly.

I don't think so, I don't hear good things about it.
I am going to talk to a teacher this week

harpsi how did I miss this?
I could even have lent you a violin

the G string is the fattest, lowest one and is on the left when it's under your chin
