Questions & Answers

The sizes seem a little confusing to me. Is it necessary to have extra long strings if I have a 16" viola?

No, I ordered the long strings for my 16" and they fit perfectly.

The sound of this string compared to those of the Dominant and Sensicore In terms of replacements, I will likely choose all three. ?

The Helicore viola C string is the same as the 5th string in a violin set, isn't it?

The answer depends on the situation. Assuming you are purchasing a set for a 5 string violin, you should get a C, G, D, A violin set with 2 E strings is normally relatively less expensive because those strings are not as durable as the others.

This will take place on 15-06-2016 I have 16" strings that fit on my 16" guitar. What size viola am I supposed to buy?

It is not uncommon for a string to be either too short or too long, so it may form a long wrap that comes out of the nut, over the fingerboard. This could be because big violas have necks that are (wrongly) longer. This may not be a problem for Helicore, since they have enough length. My C string wraps over the beginning of the fingerboard on the viola like the one you describe, but it still As far as length goes, Helicore has a great are not able to find a solution, you can cut the beginning of the fingerboard and make a thicker nut to shorten the neck, approximately 5 3/4 inch s from the beginning of the fingerboard and the border of the body of the viola.

This is a great game for students
5/5

They are the tools I recommend to everyone who plays the viola. The strings that make up the core). You should not be surprised at how thin they are, because they produce a lot of volume, too. You can definitely lift a cheaper business up with their help I made a student viola, and I believe it will add some oomph to slightly better violas as well. To add to that, I tried out one of the C strings on my own instrument to see whether it gave a little more sound than some other steel core C strings. There was a noticeable pitch bend with the extra arm weight, and I was not happy with the results. You should stay with what these people do best Achieving a higher level of student performance in the viola.

I like the sound very much
5/5

Stringed this set onto a 1/10 cello as an alto violin (vertical viola). I am quite pleased with their performance. The proportion of the wraps is good, and the silk wrapped ends are placed appropriately. I am quite satisfied with the sound quality.

The product is of excellent quality, and the purchasing process is simple
5/5

A small town isn't known for having a lot of options for buying stringed instruments. A favorite of our viola player for years, these strings are very high quality. You can get them for not too much money and they sound great.

String set for viola with Helicore technology by D'Addario, medium
5/5

A set of D'Addario Helicore strings for viola in medium. A $50 price tag is applicable. Describe something specific. I checked all the strings and all of them were high quality. My hands feel great when holding these strings because their sound is warm and they sound great. These strings are perfect for violinists like me who are no longer young. Since I'm not a spring chicken anymore, I need a string that's easy to use. The sound is warm and strong at the same time, so you get your money's worth. The following is my recommendation.

Despite good D and G, the C sounds like it is on a rubber band
3/5

Throughout, the D and G are good, but the C sounds like rubber bands held together with cardboard. There are plenty of things I dislike about However, for now I will leave them on only because they aren't good enough to allow me to go back to them. I'm glad I'm not out on my own, but only in orchestra anyway This room. I expect they'll be able to do it. There is no C in the C!.

Viola beginner makes her way up to D'Addario on her instrument
5/5

I had a cheap set of strings on my vintage viola that were breaking all the time, so rather than drive 1 1/2 hours to my nearest luthier to replace the strings, I learned to replace them D'Addario books are great for adults like me who are learning to read I definitely think it's a step up from what I used to have. To my ears, they sound really good, and so far they are holding up well.

Strings made by Helicore are favorite strings of my daughter and her viola teacher. I was impressed with their quality, and they sounded great immediately. The viola of my son just got a new set of strings. As a recommendation, we advise. The Renae.
