D'Addario Pro-Arte Long Scale Medium Tension Viola String Set

Nice sounding and good quality strings. I like these, particularly the lower ones. The A string is a litle styrained in the higher positions but it will improve once played in properly (I haven't had them on long yet). A very worthwhile upgrade over starter strings.

I like these 0-p they seem to have a good, rich sound, particularly on the lower strings. Upper strings are a little muted but this may change as they are broken in.

コスパがいいです。このお値段でナイロン弦ですので、練習用にいいです。スチール弦はあまり好かないので、このお値段のナイロン弦は助かります。

From an 8 year violist, these strings are the perfect AFFORDABLE option for those who wish to abandon their steel-core strings and upgrade their sound by very little. If you are serious about your instrument and are willing to spend sometimes a quarter or half the price of your INSTRUMENT on excellent string brands like Pirastro, Thomastik, Corelli, or Larson, then this isn't the string set you've been longing for. Now ABOUT these strings: somewhere in the back of the box it will tell you that the strings are warm and rich. I don't exactly agree. I would say these strings don't really have a particular flavor or color of sound, they are simply softer in the texture of their sound and physically on your fingers and your instrument. For a nylon-core set, they are probably the CHEAPEST option but like I said, they beat the heck out of steel-core strings. These strings are particularly good for overly bright and metallic sounding instruments--like student instruments. Steel-core strings, also, are often too hard on your fingers, too hard on your instrument (and can cause damage over time), and too bright. One downside: for elastic nylon-core strings, one often sacrifices the duration of intonation and also risks a slightly muffled, out-of-tune sound, especially if one is playing a stop (two or more strings played together). For that, four stars.

Well I can tell when my viola needs new strings (just doesn't sound like its old self and will not tune correctly). I put these strings on my Joseph Lazar instrument and presto, its putting out the sound that enhances music. I really appreciate these Pro-Arte strings.
