Sized to fit long-scale viola (body length 16-16 1/2 inches) with a playing length of 15 inches (380mm), Prelude strings are the educator’s preferred choice for student strings due to their unique blend of warm tone, durability, and value. Prelude strings have the warmest sound available in an affordable, solid steel core string design. Unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, they have excellent bow response.
