Paganino tip

Thomastik Spirocore viola strings are similar in character to Superflexible strings, but offer more brilliance, less stiffness and a noticeably brighter tone. If Superflexible viola strings sound too dark or heavy on your instrument, the Spirocore series is a livelier, more flexible and more brilliant alternative.

Optional versions available:

• G / C silver or tungsten for even more depth and projection
• A / D aluminium for additional brilliance and lightness
