What kind of E string do you have?

Your E string is an important part of your violin.

The violin's E string comes in two common end styles...loop, or ball.  Here we will profile both.

The ball end E mounts on a two prong hook, or traditionally, through the tailpiece.

In no way does Loop Or Ball lend its support to any banner ad sponsors added at the top of the page.  The only place I can honestly reccomend is Shar. That's the place I get my stuff from.
