Opal Green viola strings are handmade strings with synthetic core. The use of kevlar in the A string core avoids the traditionally annoying change of tone between the first and the second string. These strings offer a clear, warm, powerful and very uniform sound, without excessive tension. Its sound has a bright spectrum of overtones, similar to gut strings. Opal Green viola strings are available in two sizes, 16,5″-17″ and 15,5″-16,5″. The stringset consists of the following strings:

• A string Kevlar core with alloy winding;
• D- and G string Nylon core with silver winding;
• C string Nylon core with tungsten-silver winding;
• All strings are fitted with a ball.
