About String Accessories
String accessories are essential for keeping your instrument in top condition and getting the best performance out of your playing. At Gear4music, you’ll find a wide range of practical add-ons designed to support violin, viola, cello and double bass players at every level.
Rosin is a staple for all bowed string players, providing the grip needed for clean, controlled sound production. Options range from basic student-grade blocks to premium, hand-poured varieties. Strings themselves are another key area, with sets made for different sizes and playing styles—from reliable steel-core options for durability to synthetic core strings that offer warmth and flexibility.
Other popular accessories include shoulder rests, endpin stops, bows, and cases. Shoulder rests like the Wolf Forte Primo and FOM models help improve comfort and posture, while endpin stops ensure your cello stays securely in place during practice or performance. We also stock protective gig bags and hard foam cases with added features like hygrometers for monitoring humidity.
Whether it’s spare parts, preamps, or performance tools like mutes and pickups, this category brings together everything needed to enhance both playability and care of your string instrument. These reliable, well-designed items are an easy way to upgrade your setup and keep your gear performing at its best.
FAQs
What are 10 string instruments?
Ten string instruments include the violin, viola, cello, double bass, harp, guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and sitar. Each produces sound through vibrating strings, either bowed, plucked, or struck. These instruments span diverse musical traditions and genres.
Why are string instruments so expensive?
String instruments are so expensive because they require high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and time-intensive construction. Fine woods, precise fittings, and acoustic calibration raise costs. Vintage value, brand heritage, and rarity also influence pricing.
What is the most difficult string instrument to learn?
The most difficult string instrument to learn is widely considered to be the violin. Mastering pitch without frets, controlling bow technique, and producing a clean tone demand exceptional precision. Its steep learning curve often challenges even experienced musicians. Although one of the more difficult instruments, learning the violin can be incredibly rewarding.
