- #26 in Viola Strings
Sized to fit long-scale viola (body length 16-16 1/2 inches) with a playing length of 15 inches (380mm), these medium tension strings are optimized to the needs of a majority of players. Packaged in uniquely-designed sealed pouches providing unparalleled protection from the elements that cause corrosion. "Kaplan Viola strings offer professional-level players a full range of options designed to meet their exacting needs: two synthetic core sets, Kaplan Amo and Kaplan Vivo, and our existing stranded-steel core set, renamed Kaplan Forza. Kaplan Amo provides warmth, richness, and flexibility for brighter instruments, while Kaplan Vivo delivers brilliance, clarity, and a robust feel for darker instruments. Both sets settle quickly, exhibiting a rich tonal color palette and superb bow response. Kaplan Forza, the stranded-steel core set, provides an even higher level of clarity and tonal focus, and quicker bow response and settling time. "

D'Addario strings for viola should not be costing SO much more than violin strings! They are manufactured by an American corporation in NY, I think. These strings are not necessarily what you'd call pretty in sound, but as a professional musician who needs to work with newer strings, these are a better option than spending SO much money for some of the German and Nordic strings. As a professional player, 8 hours/day of playing causes strings to wear out by the end of every month. My students, fellow symphony members, and I would change them more frequently than what has become the average duration of four months, were these, and other brands, more affordable.

As an advancing student, I love these strings! They allow me to project while still having a warm tone. Shipping was very quick as estimated.

Very metallic sounding and unclear, but pizz on these strings are really, really loud which is good for the occasional pizz. passage in solos where the accompaniment usually drown the viola. in conclusion its not worth the $100, there are better options out there.
