Detail 01
Single D string, not a set
One string only. If your other three are worn, a fresh D will sound noticeably brighter and mismatched.

ThomastikPeter Infeld 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 Size Aluminum D String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single aluminum-wound D string for 4/4 violin, from Thomastik's Peter Infeld line. For replacing a broken or dead D without buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one worn D string mid-set
- Players already using Peter Infeld strings on their violin
- Keeping a spare D in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone restringing a whole violin — buy the set instead
- Fractional-size instruments; this is 4/4 only
- Players who prefer a silver-wound D's darker weight
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
Aluminum winding
Lighter and clearer than a silver-wound D, with quicker response. Silver gives more warmth and body.
Detail 03
4/4 size
Full-size violin only. It will be too long and wrong in tension for 3/4 or smaller instruments.
Detail 04
Peter Infeld line
Thomastik's synthetic-core premium line. Mixing it with a different brand's strings changes the balance across the instrument.
Detail 05
Aluminum against skin
Aluminum windings can corrode with sweaty hands, dulling faster than silver for some players.

Know before you order
- 01A new string stretches for a few days and needs frequent retuning

- 03No full set, tuner, or peg compound included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the whole set or just one string?
One string — the D. If you need E, A, and G as well, buy the full set rather than four singles.
02Aluminum or silver D — which should I get?
Aluminum is brighter and responds faster; silver is warmer and heavier under the bow. Aluminum is the more common choice on this line.
03Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. This is cut and tensioned for a 4/4 instrument. On a smaller violin the length and tension will both be wrong.
04How long before it settles in tune?
Synthetic-core strings usually stretch for a few days. Expect to retune several times a session at first, then it stabilizes.
