Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore viola strings feature a core that has greater elasticity than that of conventional strings, which means less inertia and a greater propensity for musical vibration. The sound is full and homogenous, balanced and voluminous. The string has been calibrated to satisfy the express wish of many artists for a string that is equally effective for arco and pizzicato playing styles. Spirocore's hi-tech core makes for effortless fingering, responsive bowing, stable tuning, and a very long string life. With Spirocore the steel string's technical possibilities have been developed to their maximum.
