Yeah any string instrument is the same way. They have to produce the pitch from scratch, not like a guitar where you just hold down on a fret and pluck a string. You have to have an amazing sense of pitch to play strings. That's why most string teachers won't teach students if they're too old, cause the younger you are the easier it is for your ear to be trained.
