PrimPrecision Viola A String 15+ in., Light
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a 15-inch-and-larger viola, this Prim Precision A is the Light, lowest-tension option in the range. Its steel-core design responds quickly and brings a warm, bright character to the A string. Flat steel winding and an internal corrosion-protection layer address long-term string care, while the string is made to settle quickly and hold its pitch as temperature and humidity change. Prim A and D strings are also used with synthetic G and C strings on violas needing more presence higher up.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A 15-inch-and-larger viola needing a lower-tension replacement A string.
- Pairing a Prim A and D with synthetic lower strings on a viola with subdued upper registers.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
