Pirastro Gold Label Violin E String, 4/4, Steel - Heavy / Loop-End

Pirastro Gold Label Violin E String

The Pirastro Gold Label Violin E String is a steel replacement string for a 4/4 violin, available with a ball or loop end. Three gauges let players choose different diameters and tensions: light, medium, or heavy. Select the termination that fits your fine tuner, then choose the gauge suited to your setup.

This individual E suits violinists replacing a worn string or adjusting their instrument's tension. Both attachment styles offer the same three gauge specifications, so choosing an end fitting does not determine thickness. A light gauge violin E provides the lowest specified tension, while the heavy version has the largest diameter and highest tension. The medium option sits between them.

Pirastro identifies each combination with a separate article number, making repeat orders easier once you establish a preferred setup. Ball-end and loop-end replacements require compatible tailpiece or fine-tuner hardware. Check the existing attachment before selecting your variant. Gauge describes the string's thickness and tension; end style describes its attachment. This listing offers one selected string from six manufacturer-specified combinations.
