D'Addario Prelude J812 1/2M Violin A String - Medium Tension 1/2 Size

The D'Addario Prelude J812 1/2M Violin A String is engineered specifically for 1/2-size violins, making it the premier choice for student musicians, school orchestra programs, and music teachers worldwide. Designed to deliver an optimal balance of playability and longevity, this single A string provides the warmest sound profile available in an economical solid-steel-core design.

Crafted with a solid steel core wound in precision aluminum, the J812 1/2M delivers immediate bow response, clear articulation, and reliable intonation across all dynamic ranges. Because solid steel is virtually unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity, students spend less time tuning and more time practicing. Whether replacing a broken string or refreshing an individual string on a fractional violin outfit, D'Addario Prelude strings provide dependable quality and consistent performance straight out of the package.
