D'ADDARIO ASCENTÉ VIOLIN SINGLE G STRING 3/4 Scale Medium Tension
On a 3/4 violin the bottom voice is the weak point: the body is smaller and the G turns hollow easily. Ascenté answers with a monel winding over a synthetic core — a nickel-copper alloy with real mass, which is what builds density down there. Article A314 3/4M is made for a 12 1/4 in (310 mm) playing length, ball-ended, medium gauge. A 4/4 string will not serve here; its scale is different. The colour is warm and collected with no steel edge, which on the fourth string of a student instrument counts for more than volume.

Support at the Bottom of a Small Body
The smaller the violin, the less it helps the string in the low register, which is why the G here is wound with monel rather than aluminium: the nickel-copper alloy is heavier and gives the string the mass a dense bass comes from. The synthetic core underneath supplies the warmth D'Addario words as "a warm and nuanced sound beyond what steel core strings provide." In practice the student hears low notes stop sounding muffled and start holding to the end of the bow.
310 mm Scale and Its Own Article
String size is set by the scale of the instrument, not the age of the player: 12 1/4 in — 310 mm — on a 3/4 against 13 in on a full-size violin. That is why the range carries a separate A314 3/4M, and why a 4/4 string does not belong on a smaller instrument. If the violin's size is not certain, read it off the instrument. Ascenté singles are available in several sizes, so the series can be kept after moving up.
Built for Daily Practice
The fourth string on a student violin breaks less often but loses condition fast: the winding is pressed by the finger in first position and a child's hands are not always dry. Monel is harder than aluminium and holds its coil better, and the range itself is stated by the maker to be "engineered for longevity and durability" with corrosion resistance. The string ships in a sealed pouch, so it reaches the instrument in the condition it left the factory in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which violin is this string for?
A 3/4 instrument: playing length 12 1/4 in (310 mm). The scale of the violin sets the size, so go by the instrument rather than the player's age.
Can a 4/4 G be used instead?
No, the full-size string has a different playing length — 13 in. The smaller instrument has its own article in the range, A314 3/4M.
What is this string's tension?
Medium gauge. D'Addario publishes no numeric tension for the 3/4 size, so the 4/4 figures are not carried over here.
What is monel in the winding?
A nickel-copper alloy. It is heavier than aluminium, so it gives a bass string the mass it needs, holds the shape of the coil well and resists corrosion.
Is it the same string as in the A310 3/4M set?
Yes, A314 3/4M is the stock G of the Ascenté 3/4 set. The single article exists so one string can be replaced without buying the whole set.
Are these genuine D'Addario strings?
Yes. SoundsGood supplies only genuine D'Addario product in official packaging marked with article numbers.
