PirastroPerpetual Series Viola G String 16+ in., Medium Silver, Ball End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For 16+-inch viola, this medium-gauge Perpetual G uses a synthetic core, silver wrap, and ball end. Its design centers on tonal fullness, radiance, volume, and focused projection, while preserving clarity at both ends of its dynamic span. The string is described as reacting to fine differences in bow speed, putting a wide dynamic and expressive range under the player’s control. It is also presented as stable in tuning immediately after installation.
