Larger in size and deeper in pitch than a violin, the viola plays an important role in many orchestral music pieces; which is why, like any bowed instrument, its strings need to be chosen carefully to ensure it plays and sounds exceptional. With that in mind, Thomastik's line of viola string sets are more than capable of bringing the best out of your viola performance. In fact, Thomastik strings are more often than not the go-to choice of professional orchestra members from around the globe.
Thomastik viola strings come in a variety of types to suit different playing styles. Steel core strings, for example, have a very bright tone, they stay in tune exceptionally well, and are typically recommended for those who play other styles besides classical, such as jazz, folk, or country. If steel core strings are of interest to you, then you'll love the Superflexible 15+" Viola Strings. Long-lasting and flexible, these strings actually lie midway in the path of evolution from the solid core to the advanced spiral core type, and use a cable-type structure made up of braided steel threads. One of Thomastik's biggest sellers, the Superflexible viola strings are incredibly versatile.
Now, for those who play classical music, synthetic strings are your best option. Using a nylon core, synthetic strings have a bold, rich tone, and Thomastik has many optimal choices to pick from, including the Dominant Viola Strings 15" Set Silver D String. Full, mellow, and perfectly balanced, these strings respond tremendously to intricate fingerings, and their projection will ensure your talents are fully recognized by your audience.
When it comes to crafting instrument strings, experience counts for a lot. Of course, Thomastik has been in the string business since 1919, and their expertise is apparent in every viola string set they produce. So by all means take a look through the rest of this catalog; whatever you decide on, you'll be more than happy with the results.
