Tuning the violin E string
I'm beginner in the violin and while tuning the E string using a chromatic tuner I've noticed it has two different tuned spots. One is kind loosely producing an squeaky sound and another one is tighter which produce a high pitch sound that is almost disturbing.
As a novice player and autodidact (I live in a small city in Brazil and there are no violin teachers here) I wonder which one of them is correct?

You're E string should be tuned to E5 which is 659.3Hz.
Here's a video that plays each open string for you. Tune your violin to sound like it.
You can use mobile apps tuner to tune. I am a self-starter too. I use Super tuner android app for both of my violins and it works pretty good for me. It just needs a very quiet place to tune as it cant feel any vibration and work only by listening to the sound using microphone. There is an instrument choose option and you can choose violin. It automatically detects which string you are playing and shows the frequency. Or you can just the listen to the sound of each string and tune by ear.
