Detail 01
3/4 size
Sized for a 3/4 violin's shorter string length. Wrong on a 4/4 — the winding won't sit properly.

ThomastikDominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings 3/4 A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 3/4-size Dominant A string for violin. For replacing one broken or worn-out string on a student instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped A on a 3/4 student violin
- A spare in the case for lessons, orchestra or recitals
- Matching an existing Dominant set when one string dies early
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a complete restring — this is one string
- 4/4 full-size violins, where the string length is wrong
- Anyone after the brighter attack of steel-core E-style strings
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
A string only
Second string from the top. One string in the package, not a set of four.
Detail 03
Dominant construction
Warm, forgiving under the bow. Less harsh than steel on a bright student instrument.
Detail 04
Synthetic core
Stable through temperature and humidity changes in a way gut strings are not.
Detail 05
$21.20 price
About a quarter of a full set. Replacing one string is far cheaper than restringing.

Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one string or a set?
One string — the A. The E, D and G are sold separately.
02What size violin does this fit?
3/4 only. A 4/4 full-size violin needs the full-size version; the string length differs.
03How do I know if my violin is 3/4?
Measure the body from the top edge to the bottom, not counting the neck. A 3/4 measures about 13 inches.
04Why won't it stay in tune?
New synthetic-core strings stretch. Retune several times daily for the first few days until it settles.
