- #1 in Viola Strings
Sized to fit medium-scale viola (body length 15-15 3/4 inches) with a playing length of 14 1/8 inches (360mm), 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. Prelude viola strings are manufactured using a solid steel core. Unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, they have excellent bow response. Prelude strings have the warmest sound available in an affordable, solid steel core string design. Prelude is the educator's preferred choice for student strings due to their unique blend of warm tone, durability, and value.

Listen, the thinnest string just pops. It just does. I always buy more of the A String for the viola. This brand is great, but if you have a beginner or middle schooler, buy extra of the thinnest string.

My viola G string that came with the viola could not be tuned correctly and I replaced it with this. It sounds find and is good enough since it's only on a beginner viola.

Llegó pronto y en buen estado...Las cuerdas son excelentes y no tengo queja sobre su sonido. Sale más barato comprarlas por paquete que individualmente.

Für kleine Bratschen habe ich außer der sehr viel teureren Thomastik Dominant noch keine bessere C-Saite gefunden als die D'Addario Prelude. Sie fühlt sich nicht hart an und klingt auch nicht hart. Sie holt auch bei kleinen Instrumenten Volumen, Tiefe und Brillanz raus, ganz erstaunlich, egal, welche Saiten zusätzlich verwendet werden. Leider nur muss gerade bei der kurzen Mensur die Saite ziemlich stark sein, damit der Ton tief genug wird. Dadurch ist die Ansprache der Saite nicht ganz so gut. Ich habe wirklich etliche Saiten durchprobiert, eine bessere Ansprache haben außer der Dominant nur die anderen Stahlsaiten von D'Addario: Helicore (dünner, aber viel leiser), und Kaplan (dünn, kraftvoll, aber sehr teuer).Die Prelude ist auf jeden Fall eine gute Wahl!

Needed new strings for my sons beginner 13" viola. These filled the bill. The short scale was good fit. The sound was definite improvement. Richer sound and maybe a little less squeak prone. The combination of cost and quality are good. 4 stars considering $25 for four strings. However all viola strings seem pricey relative to guitar and electric bass.
