ThomastikDominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings 3/4 D String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single D string for 3/4 size violin, sold individually. For replacing one broken or worn string rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken D on a 3/4 student violin
- Students whose D wears out faster than the rest
- Keeping a spare D in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete restring — this is one string
- Full-size 4/4 violins, the length is wrong
- Players wanting steel-core brightness
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
D string only
One string, not a set. The G, A, and E are sold separately.
Detail 03
Dominant line
Synthetic core rather than gut or plain steel — warmer than steel, more stable in tuning than gut.
Detail 04
Synthetic core
Takes a few days to settle after installation. Expect to retune several times before pitch holds.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one string only, not a four-string set
- 02New synthetic strings stretch — retune repeatedly over the first few days
- 03Confirm your violin is 3/4, not 1/2 or 4/4, before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of strings?
No. This is the D string alone. If you need all four, buy the G, A, and E separately or look for a set.
02Will this fit a full size violin?
No. It is cut for 3/4 scale. On a 4/4 the winding will not land correctly and the playing length is short.
03How long does it take to settle in?
Synthetic core strings stretch for the first few days. Tune it up, play it, retune. It should hold pitch within about three days.
04Can I install it myself?
Yes. Loosen and remove the old D, thread the new one through the tailpiece and peg, and bring it up to pitch slowly.
