Detail 01
Single string, not a set
You get one A string only. Replacing all six this way costs far more than a packaged set.

D'AddarioJ46 A-5 Pro-Arte SP Hard Single Classical Guitar String
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 5th-string (A) nylon-core classical string, hard tension, wound. For replacing one broken bass string rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken A string mid-week without opening a new set
- Keeping spares in a case for gigs or lessons
- Students on classical guitar who break bass strings often
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full restring — buy the set instead
- Steel-string acoustic or electric guitars
- Players wanting even tone across all six strings after long use
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
Hard tension
Higher tension than normal-tension classical strings. More volume and firmer feel, slightly stiffer under the left hand.
Detail 03
A-5 position
This is the fifth string from the bottom — the A. It will not work in any other slot.
Detail 04
Classical / nylon construction
Built for a classical guitar's lower tension and tie-block bridge. It will not tune correctly on a steel-string.
Detail 05
Wound bass string
Metal wrap over a nylon-filament core, so it has the finger-squeak and shorter life typical of classical bass strings.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your guitar is nylon-string classical — steel-string bridges and nuts are cut differently
- 02One string only; the other five are not included
- 03A fresh single next to five worn strings will sound brighter and louder
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of strings?
No. It's one string — the A, the fifth string. If you need all six, buy the packaged set.
02What does hard tension change?
More tension at pitch, so more volume and projection with a firmer feel. Normal tension is easier on the hands.
03Will this fit my acoustic guitar?
Only if it's a nylon-string classical. Steel-string acoustics need ball-end steel strings and different tension.
04Can I use it as a different string?
No. It's gauged and wound for the A position specifically. Another slot won't reach correct pitch safely.
