Detail 01
4/4 size
Full-size violin only. String length is fixed, so a smaller instrument will leave excess winding at the peg.

1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Full-size 4/4 violin set from Thomastik's Peter Infeld line with a platinum-plated E string. For advancing players and above.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Full-size 4/4 violin players wanting a premium string upgrade
- Players who find their current E string thin or whistly
- Advancing students moving past factory-fitted strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fractional-size violins — 3/4, 1/2 and smaller will not fit
- Viola or cello players; different scale and tension entirely
- Beginners on a rental who will not hear the difference
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
Platinum-plated E
Plating adds mass and damping to the top string, reducing the whistling many players get on plain steel E strings.
Detail 03
Complete set
All four strings included, so the instrument stays tonally balanced instead of mixing brands across courses.
Detail 04
Price around $146
Premium tier for violin strings. Budget for replacement every few months under heavy practice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure or confirm your violin is 4/4 before ordering; fractional sizes need their own sets
- 02Change strings one at a time to keep the soundpost and bridge under tension
- 03New strings stretch for several days; expect frequent retuning at first
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 3/4 violin?
No. These are cut for 4/4 full-size instruments. A smaller violin needs a matching fractional set or the string length will be wrong.
02What does the platinum E do?
The plating adds mass to the top string. In practice it reduces the whistle or squeal that plain steel E strings produce under the bow.
03How long do these last?
That depends on playing hours and hand chemistry. Heavy daily practice will dull them within a few months; light playing stretches that considerably.
04Should I change all four at once?
Replace one at a time. Removing every string drops bridge and soundpost tension, and the soundpost can fall, which needs a luthier to reset.
