D'AddarioPrelude Violin D String 3/4 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single D string for a 3/4 size violin, steel core. For students on three-quarter instruments replacing a broken or dull string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Three-quarter student violins needing one string replaced
- School and rental fleets stocking common spare sizes
- Students a step away from full size, keeping costs down
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Owners of 4/4, 1/2, or 1/4 violins
- Players wanting the warmth of synthetic or gut core strings
- Advanced players needing fine control over tone color
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 string only
A single string, not a set. The remaining three stay as they are.
Detail 03
Steel core
Stretches in fast and stays at pitch. Sound leans bright and clear rather than warm.
Detail 04
Prelude line
Student tier from D'Addario. Built to survive humidity swings and rough handling more than to add tonal nuance.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm 3/4 sizing; a 4/4 violin needs the full-size string
- 02Single string only. E, A, and G are separate
- 03Expect a few days of retuning before it holds steady
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a full size violin?
No. 3/4 strings are cut shorter. A 4/4 violin needs the full-size version.
02Is the whole set included?
No, just the D string. The E, A, and G strings are sold individually.
03How often should a student replace strings?
Typically every six to twelve months with regular playing, sooner if tone goes dull or the winding frays.
04Can I put this on a viola?
No. Viola strings are a different gauge and tuning. Use strings made for viola.
