Description

The D’Addario LE032W Nickel Wound Loop End Single String is a dependable .032 gauge replacement for players of loop end instruments such as mandolin family variants, bouzouki and other folk instruments that use loop tailpieces. It is ideal for musicians who need a single, correctly gauged wound string to replace a break, rebalance a set, or fine tune the feel of their instrument. Whether you are a gigging player, a teacher keeping classroom instruments going, or a learner who wants a quick, cost effective fix, this string provides a straightforward, musical solution with the consistency you expect from D’Addario.

Built with a steel core and a nickel plated winding, the LE032W offers a smooth feel with a clear, balanced tone and strong tuning stability. The precision formed loop seats securely in traditional tailpieces and resists slippage under tension. Compared with basic Student 1 spares, this string delivers tighter manufacturing tolerances for more accurate intonation, a longer lasting lively tone, and a more even response across dynamic playing. The result is a reliable, musical upgrade that helps your instrument speak cleanly and confidently.

For tuition and school use in the UK, keeping the right single gauges to hand is invaluable. This .032 loop end is clearly labelled, easy to fit, and helps maintain instruments between full restrings, reducing downtime during lessons, rehearsals and exams. Buying a single string keeps costs sensible when only one course needs attention, and it is just as useful for home practice where a quick replacement keeps progress on track. Supplied individually, it is a practical, good value spare that supports regular practice, ensemble work and day to day classroom needs without fuss.

Features

Nickel wound clarity and balance

The nickel plated winding over a steel core provides a clear, balanced voice with excellent sustain and a smooth feel under the fingers, making it a versatile choice for a range of loop end folk instruments.

Secure loop end fit

A precisely formed loop ensures a stable, slip resistant fit in traditional tailpieces, supporting confident tuning and reliable performance under playing tension.

Consistent intonation

Manufactured to tight tolerances, this .032 gauge string maintains accurate diameter and winding uniformity for dependable tuning stability and clean intonation across the fingerboard.

Practical single-string solution

Sold individually, the LE032W is perfect for quick replacements, balancing mixed sets, or building custom gauges without purchasing a full pack, saving time and money.
