Description

Synthetic or metal cored, 2 playing lengths. The metal core A string benefits from our helix design which gives the metal core exceptional elasticity and results in a new level of sound quality.

The Steel core 'A' string features a unique coil design which changes to an almost invisible wave when in use and fully stabilised.

Made from a special alloy with a spiral design which increases the elasticity to produce a warm sound free of whistles and metallic overtones. (Manufacturer's description). Please visit manufacturer's website for more information on this design.

"The metal core A string benefits from our helix design which gives the metal core exceptional elasticity and results in a new level of sound quality. The synthetic core A string and the rest of the set uses our new W-Core® material."

Recommended for violas with a playing scale of 35-38cm which covers most violas of back length 15-16.5 inches


Sizes refer to the vibrating length of the string NOT the body size. Click small image to see the difference between vibrating length (playing scale) and body size. See below for size recommendations by body size.

give the amber strings a try

Pros: I haven't put this string on the viola yet! But I can add that I am playing on a whole set of amber strings on a Don Tatem viola, and they are the best strings I ever had. They replaced a set of Larsen strings (also very good). They have a big, luminous sound, easy and responsive to play. I look forward to the new A, as it represents a new technology: I have a similar E on my violin. Dependable, good sound, does not whistle.

Cons: Took a long time to stabilise.

Other: I had to pay extra customs when the products entered the EU. That is to be expected, but what was not expected: the post company in Denmark clapped an extra "administrative charge" on to the postage, so we ended with a very expensive string.
