ThomastikPrecision 15+" Viola Strings 15+ in. G String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single G string for violas 15 inches and up. For topping up an existing set, not for stringing an instrument from scratch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one broken or worn G string
- Violas with a 15-inch or longer body length
- Keeping a spare lower string in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fractional or small violas under 15 inches
- Players restringing the whole instrument at once
- Violinists — the sizes are not interchangeable
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+ inch sizing
Sized for a 15-inch or larger viola body. Anything smaller leaves excess string wrapping at the peg.
Detail 03
Lower string, not the top one
Lower strings usually last longer than the A, so a G replacement is often about a break rather than wear.
Detail 04
Single-string price
You're paying per string. Four bought this way costs noticeably more than one set purchase.
Detail 05
Same brand across the set
Matching all four strings to one line keeps bow response and tension consistent across the instrument.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your viola's body length; 15+ sizing is for full-size instruments
- 02G string only — no A, D or C in the package
- 03Give it several days of retuning before it holds pitch reliably
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which string is the G on a viola?
Viola is tuned C-G-D-A from lowest to highest, so G is the second-lowest string, sitting between the C and the D.
02Does this fit a 15.5 or 16 inch viola?
Yes. The 15+ sizing is intended for violas with a body length of 15 inches or greater.
03Do I get all four strings?
No. This is the G string alone.
04Can I use this on a cello or violin?
No. Each instrument uses its own string lengths and tensions, and a viola G won't fit either one.
