Opal Green viola strings are handmade synthetic-core strings designed for warm, uniform tone across all four strings. The A string uses a Kevlar core, which avoids the tonal shift that commonly occurs between the first and second strings when different core materials are used. The D, G and C strings use nylon cores with silver or tungsten-silver windings for warmth and depth. The low tension profile across the set gives a responsive feel under the bow, supporting easy tone production and long bow strokes. A fine tuner is recommended when using the Kevlar A string. The four strings Each string, in detail. A string · Kevlar core · approx 7 kg Clear, consistent top voice Kevlar core avoids the tonal shift common between A and D strings.

Why does the A string have a Kevlar core? The Kevlar core on the A string provides a tonal character that matches closely with the nylon-core D string below it, avoiding the abrupt tonal shift that often occurs when an alloy or steel A is placed next to a synthetic-core D. The result is a more uniform sound across the full set. Do I need a fine tuner for the Kevlar A string? Yes. A fine tuner is recommended when using the Opal Green Kevlar A string, as Kevlar cores can be sensitive to peg tuning at fine increments. How long do Opal Green strings last? Several months under regular playing. Replace when the tone becomes dull or bow response slows. Wipe rosin off after each session with a clean, dry cloth. Can I return an opened string? No. Strings cannot be returned once the packet has been opened, for hygiene and tension reasons.
