Detail 01
Single string, not a set
You are buying the D only. A full change needs four separate purchases, so price the whole job before ordering.

ThomastikBelcanto 3/4 Size Double Bass Strings 3/4 Size D String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single D string for 3/4 double bass, sold on its own. For bassists replacing one worn or broken string rather than a whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead or broken D without buying four strings
- Keeping a spare D in the case for orchestra or gig weeks
- Matching an existing Belcanto set string for string
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass guitar — this is an upright double bass string
- Fraction-size student basses smaller than 3/4
- Players wanting a matched set, which costs roughly four times this
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
3/4 size
3/4 is the standard adult orchestral bass, not a small one. Measure your string length before assuming it fits.
Detail 03
Double bass string
Made for a bowed upright with a long string length. It will not fit or tune on a bass guitar.
Detail 04
D string position
The second string down. If your other three are aged, a fresh D will sound and feel noticeably different beside them.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Change one string at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay put
- 02Check the bridge and nut grooves are smooth before fitting
- 03Expect a few days of stretching before it holds pitch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of bass strings?
No. This is the D string only. Buy the E, A and G separately if you are changing all four.
02Will this fit my bass guitar?
No. It is for an upright double bass. Bass guitar strings have different lengths, ball ends and tension.
03Will it fit a 4/4 or 1/2 size bass?
It is cut for 3/4 size, the standard adult bass. Other sizes have different string lengths and need the matching size.
04How long until it settles in?
Give it a few days of playing and retuning. New strings stretch and will drift flat until the winding beds in.
