Description

D’Addario Prelude Violin Single G String in 4/4 scale and medium tension is a dependable replacement for full size violins, designed for learners, returning players and teachers who want a warm, stable sound without fuss. Whether you are refreshing a well used set or keeping a spare ready for exams and rehearsals, this G string blends smoothly with the rest of the Prelude range and sits comfortably in school and ensemble settings. It settles quickly, tunes easily and supports confident playing across the lower register, making it a practical choice for daily practice and group work where consistency and reliability matter most.

Built with a solid steel core and nickel winding, Prelude delivers a warm but focused tone that speaks clearly under the bow, while resisting changes in temperature and humidity common to practice rooms and school halls. Medium tension offers balanced feel in the left hand with secure response for articulation and shifting, helping developing players find clean intonation. Compared with basic student strings, Prelude gives improved tuning stability, longer service life and a quicker break in, so you spend less time adjusting and more time playing. Its even projection helps the G string anchor your sound without becoming harsh or overly bright.

Ideal for UK tuition and school use, this single G string suits peripatetic lessons, orchestra rehearsals and graded exam preparation, where dependable tuning and predictable tone are essential. It fits any 4/4 violin with a standard ball end tailpiece or fine tuner, and integrates neatly with existing Prelude sets or other student friendly combinations. Choosing a single string keeps costs sensible when only one needs replacing, offering strong value over buying a complete set. Clear, consistent and durable, it rewards regular practice and supports steady musical progress from first lessons through ensemble work and beyond.

Features

Warm, reliable tone for learners

Prelude is widely trusted for its balanced, warm sound that helps students produce a confident low register. The G string settles quickly after fitting, tunes easily and blends well within ensembles, making it a safe choice for lessons, rehearsals and performances.

Solid steel core with nickel winding

A robust solid steel core provides stability and longevity, while the nickel winding adds clarity and warmth without brittleness. This construction helps the string remain consistent through changes in temperature and humidity often found in schools and practice spaces.

Balanced medium tension feel

Medium tension gives a comfortable left hand feel and responsive bowing, supporting clean articulation, secure shifting and steady intonation. It offers dependable projection without excessive effort, ideal for developing technique and musical expression.

Durable performance for daily practice

Designed to withstand regular use, this string offers a reliable service life and a quick break in period, so players can focus on music rather than constant retuning. It maintains tone and tuning across routine practice, ensemble work and assessments.

Full size fit with ball end convenience

Made for 4/4 violins, the ball end fits standard tailpieces and fine tuners with ease. As a single G string, it is perfect for targeted replacements or keeping a spare in the case, ensuring you are ready for lessons, rehearsals and concerts.
