Detail 01
Single string, not a set
You get the fourth string only. If the rest of the set is old, the new one will sound brighter and mismatched.

D'AddarioJ45 D-4 Pro-Arte Composites Normal Single Classical Guitar String
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single D-4 string from D'Addario's Pro-Arte Composites set, normal tension. A replacement for classical players who break or wear one string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken D string without opening a full set
- Keeping a spare fourth string in the case for gigs
- Students who wear out wound strings faster than trebles
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Steel-string acoustic or electric guitars
- Anyone whose whole set is dull and due for replacement
- Players who prefer hard tension for higher action and volume
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
D-4, the fourth string
The thinnest of the three wound bass strings. It sits between the G and A on a classical guitar.
Detail 03
Normal tension
The middle of the range. Balanced feel and volume, lower resistance under the right hand than hard tension.
Detail 04
Composite construction
The core material differs from plain nylon, aimed at more consistent intonation on the wound bass strings.
Detail 05
Classical guitar string
Made for nylon-string classical guitars with tie-block bridges. Not for steel-string instruments.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Classical strings tie at the bridge. There is no ball end.
- 02New nylon and wound strings stretch for days before holding pitch.
- 03Mixing tensions across a set changes the feel string to string.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I put this on a steel-string acoustic?
No. Classical strings are built for nylon-string guitars, which are made for lower string tension and use a tie-block bridge rather than bridge pins.
02Which string is D-4?
The fourth string, counting from the thinnest. On a standard classical guitar it is the highest-pitched of the three wound bass strings, tuned to D.
03Should I replace just one string?
Fine if the rest of the set is fresh and you broke this one. If the whole set is worn, a single new string will stand out in tone and volume.
04What does normal tension mean?
The middle tension option. It sits easier under the right hand than hard tension and gives moderate volume and action, which suits most players.
