D'Addario Viola Strings

See all D'Addario products
Any violist could rattle off the differences between the viola and the violin (and has probably had to do so for their non-musician friends more than once). But we could also go on and on about what they have in common, not the least of which being that both instruments depend on a fantastic set of strings to produce the finest possible sound. In light of that, it's no surprise that violists tend to be very opinionated about their strings and everybody has a different preference as to which ones are the best. For many musicians, that would mean something from this selection of D'Addario Viola Strings - and if you want to find out why, maybe the best way is to sample some of these strings for yourself.

Sometimes the secret to a great string is to build it from the ground up for a specific type of instrument, and D'Addario has the specialty strings to prove it. Just take a look at the D'Addario NS410 NS Electric Viola Strings for example - they're tailored especially for NS Design electric violas, so you can take full advantage of what those instruments are capable of. On the other hand, if you're looking for a modern string to put on a traditional acoustic viola, maybe the Helicore series is the way to go. Or, to take a more classical approach, consider strings from the D'Addario Prelude, Pro-Art or Kaplan series.

All of these strings are packaged individually as well as in full sets, so you can take advantage of the freedom to string your viola your way. Mix and match the strings in different positions to create a personalized sound profile, replace them one at a time as needed instead of overextending with a full set, or change the whole course of strings at once to keep them all the same age for a consistent tone. It's up to you to decide how you want to handle the process of stringing and re-stringing your instrument - and D'Addario viola strings are more than ready to supply you along the way.
