Detail 01
Wound, not plain
A wire wrap over the core adds mass, so a low pitch works at short scale without going floppy.

Rhythm BandChromAharP Strings Wound Low G
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single wound low-G replacement string for a Rhythm Band ChromAharP. Buy it when that one string breaks or goes dead.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped low G on a classroom ChromAharP
- Keeping a spare in the case for school or church use
- Restoring the low end on an autoharp that sounds thin
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitar, ukulele, or standard autoharps from other makers
- Anyone needing a full set — this is one string
- Players wanting a tonal upgrade rather than a repair part
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
Low G
It fits one specific position on the instrument. A string cut for another pitch will not tune correctly there.
Detail 03
Sold as a single string
You are buying a repair part. Restringing the whole instrument means ordering each pitch separately.
Detail 04
Made for the ChromAharP
Length and end fitting are matched to that instrument. Generic autoharp strings may not seat in the pins.
Detail 05
$3.29
Cheap enough to keep two or three on hand, which matters when a class instrument goes down mid-lesson.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the broken string is the low G before ordering — pitches are easy to miscount
- 02You need a tuning wrench or key; it is not part of this
- 03A fresh wound string stretches and drops pitch for a day or two
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of autoharp strings?
No. It is one string, the wound low G. Restringing an entire instrument requires ordering the other pitches individually.
02Will it fit any autoharp?
It is made for the Rhythm Band ChromAharP. Other brands use different lengths and anchor ends, so fit is not guaranteed.
03How hard is it to install?
Straightforward if you have a tuning wrench: unwind the old string, seat the new one at the pin, wind up, tune to pitch.
04Why is the low G wound and other strings aren't?
Low notes need extra mass to reach pitch on a short string. Winding wire around the core adds that mass without adding stiffness.
