Questions & Answers

Those strings should be able to be tuned with fine tuners, right?

Possibly, with a little effort, yes, fine tuners can be used with them. I was unable to fit the A and D strings despite the fine tuners I had, but the G string took some time because of the string's diameter, and I found that the C string was nearly impossible to fit. Despite this, they haven't caused me any problems since they were fitted.

Is it accurate to say these are balls Is the string end for all of them?

I love the ball end earrings, yes they are

Could I get a short scale viola for my 15 inch viola or should I get a medium scale viola?

It appears that my 16 is kind of long on the medium scale. 15 inch viola has a peg box the size of a 5 inch viola, so you would probably wind a lot into it. The short scale seems like a good choice to me.

Can the medium scale be fitted onto a 16" viola, or do I have to purchase the long scale instead?

The strings you need for a 16 inch Viola are Long Scale/Medium tension.

I used these on a cheap Cecilio violin to get a great sound and nice playability
5/5

It is a violin designed primarily for when I need to leave it in the hot car or during outdoor performances, or any other rehearsal where logistics prohibit me from carrying In my previous experiences, I stayed around the dominants. This is my first experience with the ProArtes. However, I have changed my mind. Since I didn't want to spend too much on strings for my junked violin, I didn't. Although, the resonance and overall tone and playability of the strings were quite surprising, especially the E string in high position. ***** - A consistent tone can be heard throughout the string section The change in the string is not visible to the listener when playing a scale. The *br- There is a surprising degree of resonance between the strings. The following enables you to play in tune more easily since you are able to hear it, and feel the resonance in your fingers. Its relative size ( the violin's The tune is still in tune). The *br- There's a warm metallic quality to their sound, I would say. The *br- The E string is one of the most impressive strings. It is super clear and accurate all the way up into I find that even at that level, up in the 6th and 7th position, the tone is as stable as in the 1st, and it's very simple to stay in tune, even at such an altitude. The *br- When compared with dominants, I feel these have a little more character and depth (if you can recognize the character). There is a certain emotional character to my own play that I find more stirring than dominants'. I recommend giving these strings a shot if you already have junkier strings, or you're not satisfied with the tone of your current strings (not your instrument's tone, but the tone of your strings). The price is good, and the instrument is very playable for intermediate players. If you're an advanced player, however, you may still notice an overall cheap feeling to the strings, but you'll be surprised at all the other aspects I listed. In light of how reasonably priced they are, I think they are a great value.

Those who want to abandon their style can put these strings to great use as they are AFFORDABLE
4/5

the perspective of a violist who has played for eight years, these strings are an excellent AFFORDABLE option for players who wish to abandon steel guitar strings Strings upgrade their sound very little and do not change their core. When it comes to your instrument, if you are willing to spend occasionally a quarter or half of the price of your instrument on quality string brands like Pirastro, Thomastik, Corelli, or Larson, then this isn't the string set you've been looking I'll tell you about the strings now The string sound is described as warm and rich somewhere in the box. cannot quite agree with what you say. Strings such as these do not offer a particular flavor or color of sound instead, they are simply softer in their sound and by their physical nature, making them more comfortable for your fingers and If you are using nylon, you will need The main advantage of these core sets is that they are probably the CHEAPEST option, but they still beat steel hands down. These strings form the basis for all other Particularly good for bright, metallic instruments, these strings are usually in the higher range of the fretboard. Instruments that are used by students. A steel-based material As well as being too hard on your fingers, too hard on your instrument (and a risk of causing damage over time), and too bright, core strings can also be uncomfortable. Negative nylon elastic is not an ideal material for clothing The duration of the intonation is often sacrificed for longer core strings as well as risking a muffled, out-of-tune tone If one is playing a stop (more than two strings played at the same time), one should play it in tune. I give this a four-star rating.

This set is great
5/5

This set is great. The sound is superior to steel strings, and they are more affordable. This is the better sounding (and more expensive) of the During the preludes, there was a slight increase in the shrieking and sound. There are no harsh sounds they are mellow and focused.

It's the “D'Addario Pro-Skin” system
5/5

There is nothing better than the Arte strings. I am quite satisfied with the quality of the viola strings that we purchased, but also with the way they perform. It has been a pleasure having them on our son's viola. The sound of the viola is just wonderful.

Sound of the instrument has been improved
5/5

Actually, I can tell when my viola needs new strings (it just doesn't sound like its old self and is hard to tune). These strings are great for my Joseph Lazar instrument, and voila, it brings out a rich, beautiful sound. This is a very helpful article for me Several strings are used in art.

I like the sound of the All three of these sound great - G, D, and A The Kaplan E works well as the Pro Arte tended to squeal a little My current set of this is played on a new Chinese violin which is quite loud, and on a century-old Hopf which has a mellow sound I also use my Scherl and Roth violas the same way, all of them sound wonderful

I find this place to be warm and comforting
5/5

I find this place to be warm and comforting. Become one of the first to break in. A bit pricey The strings are expensive compared to my $12 d'addario guitar strings, but I only change them once a year, so it is well worth it.
