Detail 01
Single string, not a set
You get one A string. Five other strings on the guitar stay as-is, which can leave a tone mismatch.

D'AddarioJ45 A-5 Pro-Arte Composites Normal LP Single Classical Guitar String
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single A string for a classical guitar, normal tension, composite core. Replaces one broken string rather than a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a single broken A string mid-practice
- Players who break the A more often than other strings
- Keeping a spare in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone restringing a whole guitar — buy a full set
- Steel-string acoustic or electric guitars
- Players who want higher tension for more volume
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
Normal tension
Moderate pull and a softer feel under the fingers. Easier on the hands than hard tension.
Detail 03
Composite core
A multifilament core instead of plain nylon, aimed at more consistent pitch across the string's length.
Detail 04
Classical guitar string
Ties at the bridge and needs a classical guitar. It will not fit a steel-string bridge with pins.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Match tension to your other strings — mixing normal and hard feels uneven
- 02One string only, no full set and no accessories
- 03Nylon-family strings stretch for days before holding pitch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of strings?
No. This is a single A string. If you are restringing the whole guitar, buy a complete classical set instead.
02Can I put this on a steel-string acoustic?
No. Classical strings tie at the bridge and are built for classical guitar tension and construction. A steel-string acoustic needs steel strings.
03How long until it holds tune?
Expect a few days of stretching and repeated retuning before it settles, which is normal for nylon-family classical strings.
04Should I get normal or hard tension?
Match whatever is already on the guitar. Normal tension is softer under the fingers, hard tension pulls tighter and pushes harder.
