1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kaplan’s heavy-tension set is sized for 16+ long-scale viola and is aimed at players who want greater projection and volume from their string choice. The line is designed to combine clarity and warmth across registers with useful range through changing dynamics, so the focus remains on control and expression as playing demands shift. Each string is packaged in a sealed pouch for protection from corrosion-causing elements before installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long-scale viola players seeking the greater projection and volume associated with heavy-tension strings.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
