Detail 01
15+ inch sizing
Matched to full-size viola string length. On a 14-inch viola the playing length is wrong and the winding lands over the nut.

ThomastikSuperflexible 15+" Viola Strings 15+ in. A String
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single A string for violas with a 15-inch or larger body. A replacement or spare, not a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Violas measuring 15 inches or more in body length
- Replacing a worn or broken A on its own
- A spare A kept in the case for rehearsals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Smaller violas — 14 inch, 13 inch and under
- Violin or cello, which need different string lengths
- Anyone restringing the whole instrument
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
A string only
Just the top string. C, G and D stay as they are, so the set may not feel uniform across the bow.
Detail 03
Superflexible line
Part of one specific string family. Mixing lines across a viola changes how evenly the four strings respond.
Detail 04
Viola, not violin
Viola A sits a fifth below the violin E. A violin string will not tune to it correctly.
Detail 05
$23.60
The A is the string that usually wears out first, so buying it alone is often cheaper than replacing a set.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure body length from the top edge to the base before ordering

- 03Check whether your tailpiece slot or A adjuster matches the string end
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if my viola is 15 inches?
Measure the body from the top edge of the upper bout to the bottom of the lower bout, ignoring the neck and scroll. 15 inches or more fits this string.
02Is this a full viola set?
No. It is the A string alone. You would need separate C, G and D strings to restring completely.
03Can I put this on a violin?
No. Viola strings are longer and tuned lower. Use violin strings on a violin.
04Will it fit a 16-inch viola?
Yes. It covers 15 inches and up.
