Detail 01
D string only
One string. Mixing a fresh D with three older strings can leave it louder and brighter than its neighbors.

ThomastikVision 4/4 Violin Strings Medium D, Silver Medium 4/4 Size
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single Thomastik Vision D string for 4/4 violin, medium gauge, silver wound. For players replacing one string rather than a whole set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead or false D without changing the full set
- Players already running a Vision set on a 4/4
- Keeping a spare D in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a complete set — this is the D only
- Fractional violins; 4/4 scale length only
- Players wanting higher or lower tension than medium
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
Medium gauge
The standard tension in the line. Keeps the same pull on the bridge and top as the rest of a medium set.
Detail 03
Silver winding
Silver on the D gives a warmer, denser tone than aluminum and adds a little mass under the bow.
Detail 04
4/4 size
Cut for full-size scale. On a 3/4 or smaller violin the winding ends land in the wrong place.
Detail 05
Synthetic core line
Vision strings settle to pitch faster than plain gut-style cores, so tuning stabilizes in a day or two rather than a week.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your current set is medium gauge so tension stays even
- 02No other strings included — this is the D alone
- 03Expect a day or two of stretching and retuning after fitting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set?
No. This is the D string on its own. The G, A and E are sold separately.
02What does the silver winding change?
Silver adds mass and warmth on the D compared with an aluminum-wound version, with a slightly thicker, darker response under the bow.
03Will it fit a 3/4 violin?
No. It is cut for 4/4 scale. Use the matching fractional string instead.
04How long before it holds pitch?
Synthetic cores stretch at first. Plan on retuning several times over the first day or two, then it settles.
