ThomastikDominant 1/4 Size Violin Strings 1/4 A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 1/4 size violin A string from Thomastik's Dominant line. For replacing a worn or broken A on a quarter-size student instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing a quarter-size violin used by a young student
- Replacing one broken A without buying a new set
- Keeping a spare A in the case for lessons and recitals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-size or 1/2 size violins — wrong string length
- Anyone needing all four strings at once
- Players wanting a specified heavy or light tension
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
1/4 size
Cut short for a quarter-size violin. It won't reach on larger instruments.
Detail 03
No gauge stated
This is the standard tension for the line, not a heavy or light variant.
Detail 04
$21.20 per string
Per-string pricing on a fractional instrument. A full restring runs several times this.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the violin is 1/4 size — fractional sizes are not interchangeable
- 02One string only; a full set costs considerably more
- 03Fresh strings stretch and drop pitch for the first few days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 1/2 size violin?
No. It's cut for 1/4 size. A half-size violin needs a longer string.
02Is this the whole set?
No, just the A string. The G, D and E are separate purchases.
03How do I know what size violin my child has?
Sizes are usually marked inside the instrument or on the label. If unsure, have the shop or teacher measure the arm length.
04How often should a student's A string be replaced?
Replace when it sounds dull, won't hold tune, or the winding starts unravelling near the bridge or pegbox.
