What note is the violin on piano Like a flute may be C are violins only soprano and if so what they in relation to piano?

The violin, like the flute, is a transposition instrument. This means that the notes that are written for the violin sound higher or lower than they actually sound. For the violin, the notes are written an octave higher than they sound. So when a violinist plays a C, the piano will sound an octave lower.

Violins are typically in the soprano range, meaning that they play the highest notes in an orchestra. The lowest note on a violin is the G string, which sounds at a frequency of 196 Hz. The highest note is the E string, which sounds at a frequency of 3296 Hz.

In relation to the piano, the violin is two octaves higher. This means that when the violinist plays C, the pianist would play C4 on the piano.
