Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D'Addario Prelude Series strings are an extra-short-scale viola set for sizes 13–14, built with solid steel cores. They are aimed at students and amateur players, with an easy-bowing response and a bright voice described without the shrill character associated with traditional steel strings. Their resistance to temperature and humidity changes makes them a practical set for players who need strings that are not affected by those conditions.
