Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 4/4 violin E string from Thomastik's Infeld Blue line, tin-plated carbon steel. For replacing a worn E or completing a Blue set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing an E that has gone dull or rusty
- Completing or maintaining an Infeld Blue set
- Carrying a spare E, the string most likely to break
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fractional-size violins — this is 4/4 only
- Players who need all four strings at once
- Anyone with a nickel or gold E preference
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
Sized for a full-size violin. Smaller instruments need their own length.
Detail 03
Infeld Blue series
A line designation. Pair it with the other Blue strings so the four match in feel and response.
Detail 04
Single E string
Sold on its own, which is why it costs a fraction of a full set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — the A, D and G are not included
- 02Check whether your tailpiece needs a ball or loop end
- 03Wipe the E down after playing; sweat is what kills plated steel
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the other three strings?
No. This is the E alone. The A, D and G are sold separately.
02Why is the E string sold on its own?
It is the thinnest string and breaks or corrodes first, so it is often replaced between full set changes.
03What does tin plating do?
It coats the steel so sweat and skin oils reach the core more slowly, which extends the string's usable life.
04Will it fit a 1/2 size violin?
No. This is a 4/4 string. Use one made for your instrument's size.
