PrimPrecision Violin D String 1/2 Size, Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 1/2-size violin, this Prim Precision D string is offered in Medium—the only version available for fractional sizes. Its steel core is described as quick to respond, with a quick setting time after installation. The flat steel winding is specified for durability, and material between the core and winding helps protect against corrosion. It is also described as keeping pitch consistent through changes in temperature and humidity, making it a focused replacement for the D position.
