D'Addario Prelude Violin String Set - Prelude Complete Set Medium Tension - J810-4/4M
Violin String Set – Prelude Complete Set, Medium Tension – J810-4/4M
This D'Addario Prelude set gives you all four strings for a full-size violin in one package: a plain steel E, an aluminum-wound A, and nickel-wound D and G strings, each built on a solid steel core. That mix of windings is tuned to give a balanced, warm tone across the full range of the instrument.
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 a full restring an easy call rather than a big expense.

Balanced Medium Tension
Facilitates comfortable bow response without feeling stiff or loose.
Resists Temperature & Humidity Changes
Holds tuning stability better than many strings through seasonal swings.
How to Restring Your Violin
- Change one string at a time rather than removing all four at once, which helps the bridge and soundpost stay in place.
- Loosen the old string at the peg or fine tuner and remove it from the tailpiece.
- Hook the new string's ball end into the fine tuner or tailpiece, then guide it 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 before moving to the next string.
Care Tip: Bring each 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.
