D'AddarioKaplan Series Viola String Set 16+ Long Scale Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sized for 16+ long-scale viola, this medium-tension Kaplan set centers on clarity and warmth throughout the register range. The strings are designed to stay versatile across changing dynamics, supporting a controlled and expressive approach instead of a single fixed feel. Medium tension is intended to address the needs of most performers. Before installation, the strings are individually protected in sealed pouches that guard against the elements responsible for corrosion.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long-scale viola players fitting a complete medium-tension set designed around broad playing demands.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violas that are not sized for 16+ long scale.
