Set value
Save $5, plus the matched response of a complete pack
Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Uniform tonal character
The Kevlar A matches the nylon-core D in tonal character, avoiding the shift that often occurs when different core materials sit next to each other. All four strings feel and sound like one set.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $5 versus the four individual strings, and removes the friction of ordering one string at a time.
Low tension, responsive feel
The low tension profile across the set gives a responsive feel under the bow, supporting easy tone production and long bow strokes from the first session.
About Opal Green
Handmade synthetic core, consistent across the set.
Opal Green viola strings are handmade synthetic-core strings designed for warm, uniform tone. The A string uses a Kevlar core, which avoids the tonal shift that commonly occurs between the first and second strings. The D, G and C strings use nylon cores with silver or tungsten-silver windings for warmth and depth.
Available in 15.5" and 16.5" viola sizes. Select the appropriate size from the variant option when ordering. A fine tuner is recommended with the Kevlar A string.

Frequently asked
Opal Green viola set, in short.
Which size should I order?
Select 15.5" for instruments with a body length of approximately 15.5 inches, or 16.5" for instruments with a body length of approximately 16.5 inches. If you are unsure of your viola's body size, measure from the top of the instrument body (below the neck join) to the bottom of the body.
Why is the set cheaper than buying the four singles?
The set is $194 per size versus $199 for the four singles totalled, saving $5. Buying as a set also ensures tonal balance across all four strings.
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.
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.
