D'AddarioHelicore Octave Series Violin E String 4/4 Size, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for a 4/4 violin played an octave below traditional tuning, this medium-gauge Helicore Octave E string supports a different tonal and stylistic setup. Its core technology follows the Helicore violin-string approach. Because it is considerably thicker than a standard violin string, take extra care when installing it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the E string in a 4/4 violin setup designed for octave-below traditional tuning.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
