Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. This is the A string alone. The G, D and E are sold separately.
No. This is sized for a full 4/4 violin. A shorter instrument needs a fractional-length string.
Depends on play time. Heavy daily practice usually means a few months before tone goes dull and response softens.
You can, though tension and tone across strings will be less even than a matched set.
