Violin strings come in a set of four strings tuned to the perfect fifths in G, D, A, and E. They are stretched over the length of the violin’s neck and kept under tension to make them vibrate freely. The most popular string combination used by modern concert violinists are synthetic core G, D, and A strings, and a steel E string (the lowest pitched string).
Gold plating: Choose gold-plated steel E strings to delay corrosion and reduce whistling.
Sound: Choose violin strings that produce a light sound for playing happy or upbeat pieces, and a deep and rich sound for playing serious and dramatic pieces.
Construction: Choose wound violin strings to add mass and bulk for producing more volume playing at a higher tension. These strings also make the violin more comfortable to play.
