Warchal Karneol Viola A string

Description

The Warchal Karneol Viola A string has a synthetic core and a Hydronalium winding. There is also the option of a Steel A string. The sound of the synthetic A string matches the set perfectly. However aluminium or hydronalium wound A strings are less durable than those with a metal core so we wanted to give players a choice.

The Karneol string set produces well-balanced velvety tones, giving warmth and texture to your sound. They have a synthetic core, and normally require three days to achieve tuning stability and optimum tone quality.

Karneol viola strings come in two sizes depending on the speaking length of the viola. For instruments with exactly 38 cm vibrating  length we advise choosing the medium size viola strings. To avoid damaging strings it is essential that Warchal viola string sizes are chosen according to the vibrating string length of your instrument and not its body length. The vibrating string length is the distance between the bridge and the nut. We find that the majority of violas have a Medium vibrating string length.
