D'AddarioKaplan Series Viola G String 16+ Long Scale Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For the G position on a 16+ long-scale viola, this medium-tension Kaplan string is part of a line built around clarity and warmth across the register range. Its dynamic versatility supports controlled, expressive playing rather than locking the player into a narrow response. Medium tension is intended to suit the needs of most performers, and the individually sealed pouch protects the string from corrosion-causing elements before it goes on the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long-scale viola players selecting a medium-tension G string for clear, warm response across registers.
- Players who want control and expression through a broad dynamic range.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violas that are not sized for 16+ long scale.
- Players specifically seeking the easier bow response associated with light tension.
- Players seeking the greater projection and volume associated with heavy tension.
