Pirastro Piranito Fractional Viola Strings Set - 3/4 to 1/2 (12"-14")

The Pirastro Piranito fractional viola set is the global standard for young violists. Made in Germany by a brand with over 200 years of expertise, these strings are specifically designed for 3/4 and 1/2 size violas (typically measuring 12, 13, and 14 inches). Featuring a high-quality steel core, Piranito strings offer the durability and stability that student players need to succeed in lessons and school ensembles.

Angkor Music Performance Insight

At Angkor Music, we highly recommend Piranito for students because they are exceptionally easy to play. Fractional violas can sometimes sound muffled; the brilliant and attractive sound of the Piranito steel core helps these smaller instruments project with clarity. Because they settle into tune almost immediately, students spend less time tuning and more time practicing. They are the perfect, reliable upgrade for any student instrument.
