D'AddarioKaplan Golden Spiral Solo Series Violin E String 4/4 Size Solid Steel Extra Heavy Ball End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 4/4 violin, the Kaplan Golden Spiral Solo Series E string pairs solid steel construction with an extra-heavy gauge and ball end. It delivers the traditional rich character associated with Kaplan steel E strings. Within the Kaplan range, extra-heavy strings are intended to offer additional projection and volume potential, so this version is for a full-size setup that calls for a ball-end E string and that gauge choice.
