Do you play a ½-size violin and are you looking for a high-quality G-4 ½ string ? Or would you prefer a complete string setup where the G string works perfectly with the others? In this category, you'll find both individual G-4 ½ strings and fully tuned sets – ideal for young violinists, students, or anyone with a ½-size instrument.
Why choose the G-4 ½ string?
The G string forms the foundation of the violin's sound, with its warm undertone and resonance. In a ½-size violin, a properly tuned G-4 ½ string is essential for a natural tone, good tension, and smooth response. Whether you're replacing just the G string or installing a full set, the right choice makes an immediate difference in sound and playing feel.

- 🪶 Complete sets with G-4 ½ strings – for optimal balance, tone and harmony
- 🎵 Warm, balanced sound – tailored to the smaller body of the ½-size violin
- ✨ Reliable quality – carefully selected brands and sizing
Who is this string for?
This string set is ideal for players with a ½-size violin—for example, young students or beginning violinists—who strive for tone quality, comfort, and a good playing feel. A single G-4 ½ string is convenient for replacement, while a full set of G strings ensures optimal harmony and response across all strings.
Materials & voltage selection
You can also choose from different core materials and tension options for the G-4 ½ violin strings:
-
Steel core strings: bright, durable – suitable for frequent playing
-
Synthetic core strings: warm, flexible – friendly to young players
-
Gut strings: traditional and rich – for those looking for something extra
Single string or full set?
Do you only need the G string? Then choose a single G-4 ½ violin string . However, if you have several strings that are a bit older, or if the tone color is out of balance, a ½ violin string set with the correct G string is highly recommended for even tone, tension, and consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions about G-4 ½ Violin Strings
What exactly is a G-4 ½ violin string?
A string specifically tuned to the G position of a ½ size violin: length, tension and gauge have been adjusted to provide optimal tone and balance.
Can I use a 4/4 G string on my ½ size violin?
That's possible, but usually the string is too long or has the wrong tension for the smaller instrument. A tuned G-4 ½ string is therefore recommended.
When do I choose a full set instead of just the G string?
If you find the tone or tension of your strings is out of balance, or you are looking for a uniform timbre and response, a full set is highly recommended.
How often do I replace my G-4 ½ violin string?
With regular use, replacement is recommended every 4-6 months, depending on playing time and intensity. For some students, this may be slightly longer.
