Detail 01
Loop end
The end is a small wire loop, not a ball. It needs a fine tuner with a hook or fork to hold it.

ThomastikDominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings 3/4 Steel E String, Loop End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single loop-end steel E string for 3/4 violin. For student instruments and anyone replacing a broken or rusted E.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped E on a 3/4 student violin
- Keeping cheap spare E strings in a school case
- Instruments with a loop-end fine tuner already fitted
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tailpieces that take ball-end strings only
- Full-size 4/4 or smaller 1/2 violins
- Players wanting to replace all four strings at once
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
Steel E
Plain steel is bright and cuts through. It also rusts from finger sweat, which is the usual reason an E dies.
Detail 03
3/4 size
Cut for a three-quarter violin. On a 4/4 it will be short at the pegbox.
Detail 04
E string only
The highest string. G, D and A are separate purchases.
Detail 05
Low price
Cheap enough to keep two or three spares. The E is the string most likely to break mid-rehearsal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your fine tuner takes loop end, not ball end
- 02One string only — not a set
- 03Steel E strings are thin and kink easily during fitting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between loop end and ball end?
Loop end has a bare wire loop that hooks onto a fine tuner. Ball end has a small bead. Your tuner accepts one or the other.
02Can I use this on a 4/4 violin?
No. It's cut for 3/4 scale and will be too short.
03Does this include the other strings?
No. This is the E alone.
04Why did my last E break so fast?
Steel E strings are thin and corrode from hand sweat. Wiping the string after playing extends its life noticeably.
