Solid-steel core with nickel winding
This is a steel-core G string with nickel winding.

Independent shopping perspective
For a 1/2-size violin, this medium Red Label G string uses a solid-steel core and nickel winding. Its sound is described as bright and powerful, while its response is intended to feel immediate. It also resists shifts in temperature and humidity, an advantage when a student violin travels between home, lessons, and school rehearsal spaces. The string is fitted with a removable ball end for a specific replacement-string setup detail.
