D'AddarioHelicore Octave Series Violin D String 4/4 Size, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 4/4 violin set up one octave below traditional violin tuning, this medium-gauge Helicore Octave D string opens up different tonal and stylistic directions. It uses the same core technology as Helicore violin strings, but its substantially thicker construction makes installation a job that calls for extra care.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Installing a medium-gauge D string on a 4/4 violin tuned one octave below traditional tuning.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
