Frequently Asked Questions

Is this virtual violin free?

Yes. Site95 Virtual Violin is free with no signup, no install, and no usage limits.

How do I play?

Hold the left mouse button (or your finger) on a note and drag across the fingerboard — each note plays as you pass it. Plain mouse movement without holding does not play. Arco bows while held; Pizz plucks each note you enter. Open strings are the left column (G D A E).

What tuning is used?

Standard violin tuning G–D–A–E (low to high). Positions 0–12 are available on each string.

What is arco vs pizzicato?

Arco is the bowed, sustained sound while you hold a note. Pizzicato is a short plucked sound when you press or drag onto a note.

Does sound leave my device?

No. Violin samples load into your browser and play with the Web Audio API. Site95 never receives your playing.

Why is there no sound at first?

Browsers require a click or tap before audio starts. Press a note once to unlock, then hold and drag to play.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Use landscape and Full screen for a wider fingerboard. Hold and drag across notes to play; tap also works.

Free Online Virtual Violin

A virtual violin online lets you try fingerboard positions and simple patterns without an instrument. Site95 plays real sampled violin tones (hold and drag to bow or pluck) in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Samples via tonejs-instruments (CC BY 3.0).

Tuning and modes

Strings are in standard G–D–A–E tuning. Arco bows a sustained tone with vibrato while you hold and drag; pizzicato gives a short plucked attack on each note. Pair with the free BPM metronome for steady practice.
