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
Silver winding
Silver is dense, so the string can stay thinner at pitch. Warmer and quicker to respond than heavier windings.
Detail 03
15+ inch sizing
String length is matched to larger viola bodies. A shorter viola needs a shorter string.
Detail 04
Dominant line
Synthetic-core family. Mixing lines across a set gives uneven response between strings.
Detail 05
Wound low string
The G takes the most bow pressure on viola. Windings flatten and go dull before the upper strings do.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01This is one string, not a set of four
- 02Measure your viola body length before ordering the 15+ size
- 03Synthetic-core strings take several days to settle into pitch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full viola set?
No. This is the G string alone. The C, D, and A are separate.
02How do I know if I need the 15+ size?
Measure the viola body from the top edge to the bottom edge. Fifteen inches or more takes this size.
03What does the silver winding do?
Silver is dense, so the string stays slimmer at the same pitch. That means faster response and a warmer sound than bulkier windings.
04Can I mix this with other string brands?
It will work, but tension and response differ between lines. The set feels more even when all four match.
