ThomastikDominant 1/4 Size Violin Strings 1/4 G String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single G string for a 1/4-size violin. Buy it to replace one broken or worn string rather than the whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped or dull G on a quarter-size violin
- Young students on a 1/4 instrument needing one string only
- Keeping a spare G in the case for lessons and recitals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a full set — this is one string
- Any violin larger than 1/4 size
- Anyone wanting matched tone across all four strings mid-set
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
G string only
The lowest, thickest string. Sold singly, so the other three stay whatever is already on the instrument.
Detail 03
Single string, $32.70
Per-string pricing is high next to student sets; buying the full set is usually cheaper per string.
Detail 04
Thomastik Dominant line
Mixing one Dominant G with a different brand on the other strings can leave the G sounding unmatched in volume and color.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the violin is 1/4 size — fractional sizes are not interchangeable
- 02One string only; the other three are not included
- 03New strings stretch and drop pitch for several days of retuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 1/2 size violin?
No. It is cut for 1/4 size. A 1/2 size needs its own length; this one will not seat and tune properly.
02Is this the whole set?
No. This is the G string alone. The D, A and E are sold separately.
03How long until it settles in tune?
Expect a few days of frequent retuning as the string stretches, then it holds normally.
04Can I mix this with another brand's strings?
You can, and it will play fine. Tone and response across the four strings just won't be as even.
