ThomastikDominant 3/4 Size Violin Strings 3/4 Wound E String, Loop End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single loop-end wound E string for 3/4-size violin, from the Dominant line. A replacement string for a student instrument, not a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken E on a 3/4 student violin
- Tailpieces with a loop-end fine tuner already fitted
- Keeping a spare E in the case, the string most likely to snap
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-size 4/4 violins, which need a longer string
- Tailpieces that require a ball-end string
- Players needing a whole set rather than one string
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
Loop end
Hooks onto a fine tuner's prong. It will not seat in a tailpiece hole made for a ball end.
Detail 03
Wound E, not plain steel
A wound E is smoother under the finger and less prone to the whistle plain steel Es can produce.
Detail 04
E string, single
Highest and thinnest string, and the one that breaks most often. This replaces just that one.
Detail 05
Dominant line
The standard student and intermediate string family, chosen for a rounder sound than bare steel.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your violin is 3/4, not 1/2 or 4/4, before ordering
- 02Check your fine tuner takes a loop end, not a ball end
- 03One string only; A, D and G are sold separately
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between loop end and ball end?
Loop end hooks over a fine tuner prong; ball end seats in a hole in the tailpiece. Some fine tuners take both, many take only one. Check yours before ordering.
02Will this fit a 4/4 violin?
No. A 3/4 string is cut shorter and will not reach from tailpiece to peg on a full-size violin. Order the 4/4 length instead.
03Why does my E string keep breaking?
Usually a sharp edge at the bridge or nut groove cutting into the string. Have the grooves smoothed and lightly lubricated, or the replacement will break the same way.
04How long does a new E take to settle?
A day or two of regular tuning. New strings stretch, so expect to retune several times before the pitch holds steady.
