I do recommend this set as it has everything you need, and you will not be disappointed. The sounds are smooth and easy to install, and they hold their tune nicely.

Hello, I have always used the same set of characters. It is important to describe the sizes of the product.

Would there be a Viola for any type? Hello, I'm new in the community, so I'm sorry?

The question is a great one! It suits 16" and over violas. It is listed at the LM Long Scale product page. Having you bring that to my attention I'll make sure it shows up on the listing. Thanks for letting me know. As well as the sets I listed, we have smaller viola sets that are not On Monday, I'll check the prices on those violas if you're interested and let me know the size of the viola you have.

This string is not worth any price

3/5

These strings are of poor quality, even if you already have low expectations. It is impossible for the individual strings to complement each other's sound quality and there is a constant clash between sharp and deep sounds. A longer, too flexible C string is in contrast to the other strings, and the D string has a stale sound in comparison to the other strings. There is some strange reason the G string has a bridge cushion, when it should only have an A string. A D would perhaps benefit from one, but unfortunately, for some reason it does not have one. Helicore is something I recommend getting.

The voucher is valid for 10 weeks or less

3/5

Strings are okay, but after 2 months of 2 hours of use a day, sometimes weekends and concerts, my current strings have dropped in sound so much that I'm considering switching back to my previous ones. I'll be in touch after After 5 months, the bow's responsiveness has also fallen substantially, since it was barely requiring rosin (i use hard rosin) to now needing to pass it through rosin 10 times a day every Monday and Thursday, to the point where the bow is miserable. The scratch was virtually non-existent at first, but now, I scratch constantly with a moderate quality viola, a 100 bucks bow, a 30 bucks bridge, and a In my opinion, I will not buy that string again. I found it to be fine if you could change the strings every 8 weeks, that way you keep them fresh and responsive, but if they have to be relied on for more than three months, I will not buy it again. If your instrument needs to be replaced in 4 months or if you are getting a new one The quality of bows is low or of poor You would be well advised to spend some more on It was all right for the first two and a half months, but then things started falling apart.

Strings that work well on the viola C string

5/5

In order to turn a violin into a viola, I purchased the entire viola string set. The price was too high. Upon reflection, I now realize I only need to purchase the C string and keep the G D A strings, disregarding the E string for now.

A nice sound is produced by the strings, but they have poor quality

3/5

A nice sound is produced by the strings, but they have poor quality. The G string snapped only yesterday after I bought it about a month ago. In spite of taking proper care of it, it snapped while tuning even though I didn't know what I was doing. am not sure if this problem is specific to this one string or it is caused by.

The sound is fantastic

5/5

The viola I bought for $300 dollars sounds like a $30 violin. I can imagine how cool it would be to play a $1000 viola on a $300 viola. As well as playing the violin, I use Preludes.

We converted a viola to viola, and the result was quite nice

4/5

The viola has a loud sound for a small instrument, and the sound is beautiful. When I put them on a 3/4 size violin for conversion to viola, the result was surprisingly good. The viola has good volume for such a small instrument and is also easy to play for smaller.

This is where I can find the shipper's contact information

3/5

The product arrived on time. It looked just fine on the packaging, but the A string was scratched. The product is presenting a manufacturing defect, however, I am unable to find shipper's information to report a defect. Therefore, the experience to date has been unsatisfactory.
