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

Hi, @curranr I think, not positive the lighter gauge will workmeasier, but I am not positive. I am not that experienced on the viola. I am going to notify Violaman about your question.

You are welcome. I am hoping for more violists and cellist to join in on the forum for more sharing and helping.

Hi curranr,
I couldn't answer your question -- clearly you are vastly more experienced than I am -- but I'm curious, have you managed to solve your C string issue?
(I have always had issues with the C string, but they're the 'beginner' kind of issues : not related to specific strings.)
