Helicore: a D'Addario benchmark designed for versatility

The D'Addario Helicore series is renowned for its modern design centered around a multi-strand steel core, aiming to offer an effective compromise between projection, comfort, and stability. This D string, with its tungsten/silver winding, fully embodies this approach: immediate response, reliable tuning retention, and durability suited for regular use. Made in the USA, D'Addario strings undergo strict quality controls.

Intended Use and Player Level

This D string for viola targets a broad audience: beginner violists seeking comfort, intermediate players wanting a responsive string, and advanced musicians looking for a reliable daily solution. Its versatility makes it suitable for various contexts: classical, chamber music, orchestral, as well as more modern repertoires requiring good attack and stable intonation.

Tone Quality

Thanks to its multi-filament steel core, the Helicore delivers a sound that is both warm and clear, with a quick response right from the bow's initial vibration. The smaller diameter promotes articulation and precision while maintaining a strong presence in the lower register. The tungsten/silver winding on the D string contributes to density and stability, providing a clear low register without heaviness and excellent longevity.
