Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single G string for a 1/16-size violin. For replacing one broken string rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A young student who snapped only the G
- Teachers keeping spare singles for rental fleet instruments
- Topping up a set where the other three still sound fine
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing all four strings — buy the set instead
- Any size other than 1/16; string length will not fit
- Players wanting the other three strings matched to this one
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
1/16 size
The smallest common student violin. String length is cut for that scale and will not suit larger instruments.
Detail 03
Sold individually
You replace just the broken string, which is cheaper than a set when only one goes.
Detail 04
$33 for one string
Priced near a full budget set. Worth it when the other three still have life in them.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the instrument is 1/16, not 1/32 or 1/10 — sizes are easy to confuse.
- 02Change one string at a time so the bridge and soundpost stay put.
- 03New strings stretch for several days and need frequent retuning.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one string or a full set?
One string — the G. If you need all four, look for the set instead.
02Will it fit a 1/10 or 1/8 violin?
No. It is cut for 1/16 scale. A shorter string will not reach properly on a larger instrument.
03Can I mix this with other brands on the other strings?
It will work mechanically, but response and volume across the four strings will be less even than a matched set.
04How do I know my violin is 1/16?
Check the label inside the f-hole or measure the back. 1/16 is among the smallest student sizes, typically for very young players.
