ThomastikVision Solo 15+" Viola Strings 15+ in. A String
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single A string for violas 15 inches and up. For players replacing a worn top string rather than buying a full set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a dead A without rebuying all four strings
- Violas with a body length of 15 inches or more
- Players already running Vision Solo who need one string
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Smaller violas — the string length won't fit properly
- Anyone restringing the whole instrument; this is one string
- Violin players — different scale length and tuning
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
Cut for violas with a 15-inch body or larger. Shorter instruments end up with excess winding at the peg.
Detail 03
A string specifically
The highest and most exposed string on a viola. It wears out first, which is why it's sold on its own.
Detail 04
Single-string price
Per-string cost. Replacing all four this way adds up quickly compared to buying a set at once.
Detail 05
Thomastik across the set
Keeping one maker's line on all four strings gives more even tension and response from string to string.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your viola's body length first — 15+ won't suit a smaller instrument
- 02One string only; no D, G or C included
- 03New strings stretch. Expect repeated retuning over the first few days
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a 16-inch viola?
Yes. The 15+ sizing covers violas from 15 inches of body length upward, which includes 16-inch instruments.
02Is this a full set of viola strings?
No. This is the A string on its own. You would need to buy the D, G and C separately.
03Can I put this on a violin?
No. Viola string lengths and tuning differ from violin, and it won't sit correctly at the pegbox or tailpiece.
04Can I mix this with strings from another brand?
You can, and plenty of players do. Tension and response across the four strings just won't be as even as a matched set.
