1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This medium-tension Kaplan D string is made for the D position on a 16+ long-scale viola. It carries the series’ focus on clear, warm response across registers and flexibility through the dynamic spectrum, giving the player a foundation for controlled, expressive work. Medium tension is designed around the needs of most performers. The string arrives in a sealed pouch that protects it from the elements associated with corrosion before installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long-scale viola players selecting a medium-tension D string with clear, warm response across registers.
- Players who want expressive control while moving through a wide dynamic spectrum.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violas that are not sized for 16+ long scale.
- Players specifically seeking the easier bow response associated with light tension.
- Players seeking the greater projection and volume associated with heavy tension.
