Pirastro 1AVEL Aricore Violin E String, Steel, 4/4, Medium - Loop-End

Pirastro Aricore Violin E String

The Pirastro Aricore Violin E String is a steel string for 4/4 violins, available with a ball end or loop end. Both versions use Medium gauge and carry the same published playing tension of 17 lb. Select the attachment that matches your violin's tailpiece or E-string fine tuner.

For players choosing a replacement steel E string, these two configurations keep size, material, and gauge consistent while accommodating different attachment hardware. A ball-end violin replacement fits a connection designed to retain a ball. A loop-end option fits a compatible hook-style fine tuner. Check your existing fitting before ordering to select the correct version for your instrument.

Pirastro specifies a steel E in the Aricore medium set, making either attachment option suitable when replacing that string with the matching configuration. Manufacturer part numbers distinguish the two versions for accurate ordering. Dark-green peg-end silk and blue tailpiece wrapping provide identification during installation. Both options arrive in envelope packaging and share the same published tension, so the end fitting determines the choice.
