Tuning in Fourths
Just a thought or rather a question...
How would one tune a violin in Fourths like a guitar without putting to much tension on the strings or too little tension? I have always tuned my violins in standard Fifths GDAE, so maybe trying something like ADGC would be in Fourths...is this correct?
I basically want to see if guitar fingerings can work on a violin with a different tuning, and also to explore some different sounds.
