Detail 01
Electric viola specific
Designed around an amplified instrument's pickup and string length, so it behaves differently than an acoustic viola set.

D'AddarioNS410 NS Electric Viola Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
String set for electric viola, not acoustic. For players on an NS-style electric instrument who need a matched replacement set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric viola players replacing a worn or broken set
- Amplified players who want all four strings matched
- Keeping a spare set in the case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic viola — these are built for an electric instrument
- Violin or cello; the scale and tuning are different
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Full four-string set
All strings replaced together, so response and feel match across the instrument instead of one new string standing out.
Detail 03
Viola, not violin
Longer string length and lower tuning. A violin set will not fit or reach pitch on a viola.
Detail 04
Around $62 a set
Mid-range for orchestral strings. Cheap enough to keep a backup set without thinking hard about it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Change one at a time so bridge and soundpost stay seated
- 02No rosin, tools, or fine tuners included — set only
- 03Allow a few days of stretching before tuning stays put
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these work on an acoustic viola?
They're made for electric viola. On an acoustic instrument the fit and response won't be what the set was built for.
02Is this a full set or a single string?
A full set — all four viola strings.
03Can I use these on a violin?
No. Viola strings are longer and tuned lower. They won't fit a violin's string length or tuning.
04How often should I change them?
When tone dulls, tuning gets unstable, or the winding shows wear. Heavy players go through sets much faster than occasional ones.
