55The three Diagrams shown on this page are invaluable to the pupil, showing at a glance where every note, natural, sharp and flat is made on every string. The Diagrams are the same size as the fingerbod on your Violin, and shows exactly how far apart the fingers should be placed to produce the proper tone or pitch. From one Fret to the next is half a tone, therefore it takes the distance of two frets to make a whole tone.
