ThomastikDominant Viola Strings 15+ in. A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single A string for viola, Thomastik Dominant, sized for 15-inch and larger instruments. A replacement string, not a set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a broken or dead A string mid-set
- Violists on 15" or larger full-size violas
- Keeping a spare A in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full set — this is one string
- Violas smaller than 15"
- Players wanting to restring the whole instrument at once
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
15+ in. sizing
Cut for full-size violas measuring 15 inches or more across the body. Shorter violas need a different length.
Detail 03
Dominant line
Thomastik's long-running synthetic-core viola string family. Sets stay consistent, so a single replacement matches an existing Dominant set.
Detail 04
Single-string price point
Cheaper than a set upfront, but replacing all four this way costs more than buying a set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your viola body length — under 15 inches needs a different string
- 02No pegs, tuners, or tools included
- 03New strings stretch and go flat for several days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with all four strings?
No. This is the A string only. The D, G, and C strings are sold separately.
02Will it fit my 14-inch viola?
No. This length is for violas 15 inches and larger. Smaller instruments need a shorter string.
03Can I mix this with a different brand set?
You can, but tension and feel across the four strings won't match evenly. It pairs best with other Dominant viola strings.
04How long before it settles in tune?
Expect several days of retuning as the string stretches. Tune it up repeatedly over the first few sessions.
