Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kaplan’s heavy-tension G string is sized for 16+ long-scale viola and built for players who want more projection and volume from that string. The Kaplan series is designed around a rich tonal range, clear response across registers, and responsive bow handling. It arrives in a sealed pouch intended to guard against the elements that cause corrosion, a useful detail when keeping replacement strings on hand.
