A tenor violin is an instrument with a range between those of the cello and the viola . An earlier development of the evolution of the violin family of instruments, the instrument is not standard in the modern symphony orchestra . Its tuning, typically G4 D5 A5 E6 an octave below the traditional violin, places the range between the cello and viola and thus is sometimes confused with the modern baritoneviolin which has the same tuning on the standard violin body. As a formal development, the 17th century tenor violin existed as an instrument with a body larger than a viola but with a short neck. In earlier designs, the tenor was played upright in the musician s lap. Improvements in string technology in the 18th century led to greater focus of sound coming from the viola and cello ranges leading to a diminished role for tenor violins and Luthier violin makers constructed fewer of these instruments. It is known that Antonio Stradivari constructed two different models of tenor violin as well as tenor variations of violas. Versions of the tenor violin are also called violotta s.

Violin Phase , written by minimalism minimalist composer Steve Reich in October 1967, is an example of his phasing technique previously used in Piano Phase in which the music itself is created not by the instruments but by interactions of temporal variations on an original melody . Music of this kind is generally referred to as process music . In Violin Phase , two violins are recorded and played back, together at first. They are then made to go slowly out of sync by adding silence to one of the tapes. A new melody is formed by the interaction of the two out of sync instruments and is then accented by a third violin. This process is repeated with variations throughout the rest of the piece. Reich also arranged the piece for electric guitar and tape or 4 electric guitars . In this form the work was recorded as Electric Guitar Phase by Dominic Frasca .
