ThomastikPrecision Steel 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 D String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single steel D string for full-size violin. For replacing one worn or broken D without buying a complete set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead D while the other three strings are fine
- Keeping a spare D in the case
- Full-size 4/4 violins
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a full restring — this is one string
- Fractional violins; 3/4 and smaller need shorter strings
- Anyone set on gut or synthetic-core feel
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
Single D string
You get the D only. No G, A, or E in the package.
Detail 03
Steel string
Steel settles to pitch quickly and holds tuning with little stretch-in compared with synthetic-core strings.
Detail 04
$20.10
Cheap as a one-string fix, but buying a whole instrument's worth one string at a time adds up fast.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only — your existing G, A and E stay on
- 02Mixing string types across the set changes balance between strings
- 03Confirm your violin is 4/4, not 3/4 or smaller
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. It is the D string on its own, for replacing a single worn or broken string.
02Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. It is cut for 4/4 full-size violins. A fractional instrument needs a string made for that size.
03Can I mix this with a different brand set?
Physically yes. Feel and response across the four strings will be less even than a matched set, which some players notice most on string crossings.
04How long does it take to settle?
Steel strings stretch in quickly. Expect several retunes over the first day, then stable pitch.
