Detail 01
Steel E
Plain steel core, so it settles fast and holds pitch quickly compared with the synthetic strings around it.

ThomastikVision Solo 4/4 Size Violin Strings 4/4 Size Steel E String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single steel E string for full-size violin, sold on its own. For players who already use Vision Solo and need a replacement E.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped E without rebuying a full set
- Keeping a spare E in the case for gigs
- Full-size 4/4 violin setups only
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone restringing a whole violin — buy the set
- Fractional sizes: 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and smaller
- Viola, cello or any non-violin instrument
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 string, not a set
You get the E only. The G, D and A on your violin stay whatever they are now.
Detail 03
4/4 size
Cut for a full-size violin. On a smaller body it will be too long and wind badly at the peg.
Detail 04
$14.40
Cheaper than a set, but replacing all four this way costs more than buying a set outright.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your tailpiece takes a ball end or a loop end
- 02Nothing else is included — no full set, no fine tuner
- 03Bring pitch up slowly; a fresh E can slip for a day or two
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. This is the E string alone. If you need G, D and A as well, buy the Vision Solo set instead.
02Will this fit a 3/4 violin?
No. It is cut for 4/4 full size. A fractional violin needs a string made for that size.
03How long before it stops going out of tune?
A steel E settles faster than synthetic strings. Expect a little slipping the first day, then it stays put.
04Can I use it on a viola?
No. Viola strings are longer and tuned differently. Use a viola-specific string.
