Hello all,

I'm a violinist who also plays the viola and have a problem with my C string. It seems to be very unresponsive, particularly in third position and higher. I'm aware that significantly more pressure is needed but it's almost impossible to play quietly.

I use Dominant Pro strings and a top end Coda bow that shouldn't yet need a re-hair.

Is it possible that a lighter guage string will make this easier to play?

TIA
