Description

These good quality student strings give a bright clear tone.

Prelude violin strings are manufactured using a solid steel core. Unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, they have excellent bow response. Prelude strings have the warmest sound available in an affordable, solid steel core string design. Prelude is the educator's preferred choice for student strings due to their unique blend of warm tone, durability, and value

These strings will transform the sound of 'school' violins strung with poor quality Chinese strings. Excellent tone and tuning stability.

To check your instrument size measure the length of the back (LOB) excluding the 'button' which is the thumb shaped extension at the top where the neck is anchored. Old instruments can vary, if more than 1/2" over choose the next size up.

4/4 - LOB 356mm (14")

3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")

1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")

1/4 - LOB 280mm (11")

1/8 - LOB 254mm (10")

Buy vision strings instead. They sound much better
1 out of 4 found the following review helpful

Pros: None

Cons: Really disappointed I bought these strings. I bought the vision strings earlier for a quarter size violin which were great and had a really good tone. Bought these strings for a half size violin as a friend commented that both prelude and vision were basically the same, but they aren't at all. The vision are so much better so would recommend buying these and not the prelude.
