Helicore: A Modern Reference from D'Addario

The D'Addario Helicore series is designed to offer immediate feel and great daily reliability, thanks to a multi-filament steel core construction and premium materials. Each string is designed and manufactured in the USA and individually packaged in a waterproof pouch to minimize the impact of elements responsible for corrosion.

For Whom and In What Playing Contexts?

This A string alone is aimed at violists seeking a versatile string suitable for various instruments and styles. In Medium tension, it is suitable for daily practice as well as rehearsals and concerts, provided the viola is of the corresponding "Long Scale" format.

Sound Characteristics

Thanks to its multi-filament steel core, this Helicore delivers a clear and warm tone with a precise attack. Its smaller diameter promotes a quick bow response while maintaining a controlled feel. The aluminum winding contributes to the balance between presence and flexibility on the A string.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For consistency in feel and tone, you can complement with the other D'Addario Helicore "Long Scale" viola strings in Medium tension (D, G, C), ensuring to maintain the same "Long Scale" compatibility (40.6 to 41.9 cm) and neck length (380 mm).
