Detail 01
Single G string, not a set
You get one string. The other three stay as they are, so tension and feel across the set stay mixed.

ThomastikInfeld Red Series 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 Size Silver G String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single silver-wound G string for full-size violin, sold on its own. For players replacing one broken or dead string rather than buying a whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a G that has gone dull or false
- Players who already run this series on their violin
- Keeping one spare low string in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone restringing the whole instrument — buy the set
- Fractional-size violins; this is 4/4 only
- Viola, cello or bass players
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
Cut for a full-size violin. On a 3/4 or smaller it will be too long to fit properly.
Detail 03
Silver winding
Silver is the standard winding for a violin G. It's denser than aluminum, so the lowest string speaks clearly.
Detail 04
Red Series
The red marking identifies the line, not the sound. Match it to whatever series your other strings are.
Detail 05
$38.60 for one string
Priced per string, so a full set of this line costs several times this. Budget accordingly if you plan to replace all four.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — no A, D or E included
- 02Check your fine tuner and tailpiece accept this string's end fitting
- 03Mixing a fresh G with three old strings will sound uneven
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of violin strings?
No. This is the G string on its own. The A, D and E are sold separately.
02Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. It's cut for 4/4 (full size) violins. A smaller instrument needs a string scaled to it.
03Can I mix this with a different brand or series on the other strings?
You can, and players do it. Expect some unevenness in feel and volume between strings until you settle on a combination you like.
04How often should the G be replaced?
When it goes dull, stops tuning true, or the winding starts to unravel. Playing hours matter more than calendar time.
