Description
The D’Addario LE030W Nickel Wound Loop End Single String is a dependable .030 gauge replacement for players who use loop end tailpieces. It suits a wide range of instruments that take loop end strings, including many in the mandolin and banjo families, as well as bouzouki and tenor guitar where the gauge is appropriate. Whether you are replacing a single broken string, fine tuning a custom set, or keeping essential spares for gigs and rehearsals, this single is a simple, reliable choice that delivers clear tone and straightforward installation without the need to buy a full set.
Built with a nickel wound wrap over a strong steel core, the LE030W offers a bright, musical response with a smooth feel under the fingers. D’Addario’s precise manufacturing and tight tolerances promote accurate intonation and consistent diameter from unit to unit, which helps your instrument settle quickly and stay in tune. The neatly formed loop end anchors securely in traditional tailpieces, while the nickel wrap provides a pleasing balance of clarity and warmth with a touch of extra durability for regular playing and practice.
For UK tuition and school use, this single string is a practical and cost effective way to keep instruments lesson ready without purchasing whole sets. It fits quickly, stabilises pitch efficiently and helps minimise downtime during classes, ensemble rehearsals and peripatetic sessions. The .030 gauge is a useful option for lower courses or specific tunings on loop end instruments where that tension feels right, so teachers and students can tailor setups sensibly. Good value, consistent quality and easy availability make it a sensible spare to keep in the case for practice, assessments, concerts and day to day maintenance.
