ThomastikSuperflexible 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 E String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single E string for 4/4 violin, sold on its own. For replacing a broken or worn E without buying a full Superflexible set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped E mid-semester without rebuying a set
- Students on full-size violins already strung with Superflexible
- Keeping a spare E in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a full restring — buy the set instead
- Fractional-size violins (3/4, 1/2, 1/4)
- Anyone wanting to change the whole instrument's tonal character
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 E string, not a set
You get one string. The other three stay as they are, so the sound stays mixed until you replace them all.
Detail 03
Superflexible line
Thomastik's steel-core student range. Mixing it with a different brand's A/D/G gives uneven response across strings.
Detail 04
E string specifically
The highest, thinnest string. It breaks most often and wears fastest, which is why it's sold separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your violin is 4/4 — fractional sizes need their own string length
- 02Check whether your E needs a ball end or loop end for your tailpiece
- 03Nothing else included — no tuner, peg dope, or fine tuner
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with all four strings?
No. This is the E string only. If you want all four, buy the Superflexible 4/4 set.
02Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. It's cut for 4/4. A 3/4 instrument needs 3/4 strings or the length won't sit correctly.
03Can I use it with strings from another brand?
Yes, it will work mechanically. Expect the E to feel and respond differently from the other three.
04How often should I replace the E?
The E wears fastest of the four. Players who practice daily typically change it well before the rest of the set.
