ThomastikAlphayue Series Viola D String 15+ in., Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as a medium-gauge D-string replacement for 15+ inch viola, the Alphayue D is made for a quick, supple response from the bow. The line’s tonal character combines a full, dark base with brilliant overtones, while its projection and power support clear musical presence. It is also described as settling in quickly and maintaining stable tuning over its lifespan. For a basic student viola, it offers a way to renew the D string with the Alphayue series’ stated playing character.
