Detail 01
Single G string
One string only. The other three stay as they are, so the new G may sound brighter until it settles.

ThomastikDominant 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 G String, Ball End G String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single Thomastik Dominant G string for a full-size violin, ball end. Buy it to replace one broken or worn G, not to restring the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped or unraveling G on a 4/4 violin
- Players who wear through the low string fastest
- Keeping a spare G in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a complete restring — buy the full set
- Fractional-size violins; this is cut for 4/4
- Viola or cello, which use different string lengths and gauges
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
4/4 size
Full-size violin length. On a smaller instrument there will be too much string past the peg.
Detail 03
Ball end
Drops into a standard tailpiece or fine tuner slot without a loop-end adapter.
Detail 04
Synthetic core
Warmer and lower tension than steel, with a break-in period of a few days before pitch holds.
Detail 05
Sold individually
Cheaper than a set when only one string failed, but the four strings will no longer be evenly worn.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your other three strings — if all are old, a full set is better value
- 02Loosen and replace one string at a time to keep the bridge upright
- 03Retune repeatedly over the first few days as the core stretches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I mix this with a different brand of strings?
Yes, it will play in tune, but tension and tone will not match across the set. Most players prefer keeping all four from one line.
02Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. This is cut for a 4/4 instrument. A 3/4 violin needs the shorter 3/4 version.
03Why does the new G sound brighter than the rest?
Fresh strings are brighter than worn ones. It will blend in over a week or two of playing.
04How long until it stays in tune?
Synthetic-core strings stretch. Expect frequent retuning for the first few days, then normal stability.
