D'Addario H413 SM Viola Strings

Helicore Viola G String — Clear, Warm Tone with Quick Bow Response

The D'Addario Helicore Viola Single G String is engineered around a multi-stranded steel core that braids individual steel wires into a flexible cable, blending strength with the suppleness a violist needs under the bow. The result is a clear, warm tone with quick bow response and excellent pitch stability, making this replacement G string a dependable choice for players who want a responsive feel without sacrificing tonal warmth. Silver winding on the G string adds focused articulation that sits well in ensemble playing and cuts through cleanly in solo passages. Packaged in a uniquely-designed sealed pouch that protects against corrosion, each string arrives ready to install and built to hold up through regular practice and performance schedules.

Who It's For — Viola Players Seeking a Responsive, Articulate G String

The Helicore Viola Single G String in short scale, medium tension is the right choice for viola players who need a responsive, articulate G string that works across traditional and alternative playing styles. Short scale fits violas measuring 15" and under, making it a natural match for student-size instruments and smaller-bodied violas used by younger players and advancing students.
