D'AddarioAscente Series Viola D String 16+ in., Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a 16+ in. viola, this Ascente medium-gauge D string uses a synthetic core. Its design centers on a broader tonal range alongside pitch stability and long service life, giving developing viola players a consistent replacement option when maintaining the D string. It is sold as an individual D string, so its 16+ in. designation and medium gauge are the key details to match before installation.
Strong match
Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
