Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A single A string for full-size violin. For replacing one string that has broken or gone dead, not for restringing the whole instrument.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Swapping in a fresh A mid-season
  • Students who already use this line
  • A spare A kept in the case

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Full restrings — the set is the better buy
  • 3/4, 1/2 or smaller violins
  • Viola or cello

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 01

Single A string

One string in the package. Nothing else in the set is included.

Detail 02

4/4 size

Sized for a full-size violin. Fractional instruments need shorter strings and this one won't seat correctly.

Detail 03

$21.20 per string

Cheaper per string than the heavier wound lower strings, but four of these still adds up to a set price.

Detail 04

Dominant line

Keep the series consistent across strings if you want even response; a lone mismatched A stands out under the bow.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01A string only — G, D and E not included
  2. 02New strings stretch; expect frequent retuning for the first days
  3. 03Confirm the end fitting works with your fine tuner

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with all four strings?

No. This is the A string by itself.

02Is it for a full-size violin?

Yes, 4/4 only. It won't fit fractional-size instruments correctly.

03Why does my new string keep going flat?

Fresh strings stretch. Tune several times a day for the first few days and it will settle.

04Can I use this on a viola?

No. It's a violin A, cut for violin string length and pitch.
