1/2-3/4 Pirastro Tonica Viola Strings - also referred to as 12"-14"

Pirastro's Tonica viola strings are made with the same technology that the Thomastik Dominants are. They have a similar synthetic core and also come in 3 gauges. Medium is the predominant gauge ordered.

A lot of people that use the Dominants will usually like the Tonicas. Some players say that the Dominants are a tad brighter in tone, with the Tonicas sounding slightly warmer. Of course, it depends on other variables, primarily the particular viola and the personal requirements of the player as well.

Tonica also has an additional C string that comes in Tungsten. If you have a slow responding C string on your viola, the Tungsten C might offer more 'zip' as it is a brighter and thinner string.
