D'AddarioPrelude Violin E String 3/4 Size
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single E string for a 3/4 violin, sold on its own. For students replacing a broken or dead E without buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Student violins where the E broke mid-term
- Keeping a spare E in the case
- School or rental fleet restringing on a budget
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-size 4/4 violins — wrong string length
- Players wanting warmer, complex tone from a synthetic core
- Anyone needing a full set of strings
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
E string only
One string, not a set. The other three stay as they are, so tone will not match a fresh set.
Detail 03
Prelude series
D'Addario's student line — built for durability and tuning stability rather than tonal depth.
Detail 04
Under $5
Cheap enough to keep two or three spares on hand, which matters since E strings break most often.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the instrument is 3/4, not 1/2 or 4/4 — sizes are not interchangeable
- 02One string only; no set, no rosin, no accessories included
- 03New strings stretch and go flat for a few days before settling
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 4/4 violin?
No. This is cut for 3/4 scale. A 4/4 needs the full-size version.
02Is this a whole set?
No. This is the E string only. The A, D, and G are sold separately.
03How do I know what size my violin is?
Measure the body from the neck joint to the bottom edge. A 3/4 body is roughly 13 inches; check with your teacher or shop if unsure.
04Why does my E keep breaking?
Usually a rough spot at the bridge or nut groove cutting into the string. Have those slots smoothed before you keep replacing strings.
