Thomastik Alphayue Viola 1/2, ST-AL200-SET12

The Alphayue viola strings bring the proven Alphayue concept to the viola, creating an affordable yet characterful solution for young viola players. The full range of viola sizes is covered, from the smallest student viola to the regular 4/4 size.

As with the violin version, a synthetic multi-layer core sits at the heart of the construction. Aluminum and silver windings provide a balanced tonal gradation across all four strings. The sound is warm and clear, and the response reacts reliably even to gentle bow work.

In everyday school use, Alphayue strings score with the series' typical robustness: good corrosion resistance, quick tuning stability, and a lifespan well beyond that of cheap student strings. Ideal for the step up from a full-steel set to a first serious viola string.
