D'AddarioPrelude Violin E String 1/16 Size, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A medium-gauge replacement E string for 1/16-size violin, Prelude uses a solid steel core aimed at student and amateur players. It keeps a bright sound without the shrill character associated with traditional steel strings, and it is described as easy to bow. Its resistance to temperature and humidity changes makes it a practical string choice where changing conditions are part of day-to-day playing. The series is presented for classical, modern, jazz, and country work.
