D'AddarioPrelude Violin G String 3/4 Size
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single G string for a 3/4-size violin. For students on a three-quarter instrument replacing a worn or broken low string.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Preteen students on 3/4 violins needing a new G
- School orchestra stock for mid-year breakages
- A backup G kept in the case for recitals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-size 4/4 violins — the string is too short
- Players chasing a rich, complex low end
- Anyone whose whole set is due for replacement
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
G string
Lowest string on the violin. Goes dull and unfocused with age well before it actually snaps.
Detail 03
Prelude line
D'Addario's student range — chosen for tuning stability and toughness under daily practice rather than refinement.
Detail 04
Sold individually
Just the G. A single new string among three old ones will stand out in brightness for a week or two.
Detail 05
Under $8
Low enough that keeping a spare G in the case is cheaper than a missed rehearsal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check the size — 3/4 and 4/4 strings are not interchangeable
- 02Single string, not a four-string set
- 03Wind carefully at the peg; kinking the winding kills the string
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a 3/4 G string work on a full-size violin?
No. It is too short to wind properly. Use the 4/4 version.
02How often should a student replace strings?
For daily practice, roughly every six to twelve months, or sooner if the tone goes dull or the winding starts to fray.
03Does this come with the other three strings?
No. This is the G string alone.
04Why does my new string keep going flat?
New strings stretch. Retune several times over the first few days and it will settle.
