Prelude Violin G String - Nickel-Wound Medium Tension - J814-4/4M
Violin G String – Prelude Nickel-Wound Medium Tension – J814-4/4M
This D'Addario Prelude G string pairs a solid steel core with a nickel winding, giving the violin's lowest string a warm, full-bodied tone without losing clarity. Balanced medium tension makes for comfortable bow response and a feel that doesn't fight a developing player.
It's a long-time favorite with music educators for good reason: reliable pitch stability, strong resistance to temperature and humidity swings, and a price that makes restringing a full-size violin an easy call rather than a big expense.

How to Change Your G String
- Loosen the old string at the peg or fine tuner and remove it from the tailpiece.
- Hook the ball end of the new string into the fine tuner or tailpiece.
- Guide the string over the bridge and up through the correct peg hole.
- Wind the string onto the peg, keeping the coils neat, and bring it up to pitch gradually.
Care Tip: Bring a new string up to pitch gradually over a day or two rather than tuning it all the way up at once, which gives it time to settle and helps it hold tuning better.
