Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
H413 is an individual Helicore G string for violas with a 16-inch or longer scale. Its multi-strand high-carbon steel core and alloy windings are described as offering flexible response, rapid bow response, and strong projection. The all-metal construction is unaffected by humidity and temperature changes. Its warm, rich sound is said to resemble the character of gut- or synthetic-core strings, while maintaining stable performance over a long playing life.
