Set value
Save $10, plus the matched response of a complete pack
Why buy as a set
Three reasons to take the whole pack.
Tonal coherence
All four strings are voiced together by Pirastro for the same tension profile. You get a matched response from C through A without mixing voicings or brands.
Better price per string
Buying as a set saves $10 versus the four individual strings, and removes the friction of ordering one string at a time.
Concert-ready quickly
Allow 24 to 48 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle, then the set is ready for solo, chamber, and orchestral work.
About Perpetual
Designed for projection and clarity.
Pirastro Perpetual strings are built for modern violists who need a bright, focused sound with excellent projection. The synthetic core delivers enhanced stability and a fast response, keeping the tone clear and consistent whether you are in an orchestral section or on stage as a soloist.
The quick response ensures that intricate techniques can be executed with ease. Perpetual strings maintain clarity across all registers, from low C through to the highest positions on the A string, making them well suited to concertos and solo recitals where the viola needs to project over a full orchestra.

Frequently asked
Pirastro Perpetual viola set, in short.
What is included in the Perpetual viola set?
The set includes all four strings for a 4/4 viola: A, D, G, and C, one of each, all in medium tension, in Pirastro Perpetual's synthetic core construction.
Why is the set cheaper than buying the four singles?
The set is $255 versus $265 for the four singles totalled, saving $10. Buying as a set also ensures tonal balance: all four strings are voiced together for matched response from C through A.
How long do Perpetual strings last?
Several months under regular playing. Replace when the sound becomes dull or intonation in the upper positions starts to go false. Wipe rosin off after each session to extend lifespan.
Are these strings authentic Pirastro?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Pirastro strings through the official supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, contact us and we will arrange a remedy.
