About D'Addario Prelude Viola String Set, Extra Short

Pro-Arte synthetic core viola strings have a warm, mellow tone. They are less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, and break in quickly. Pro-Arte strings are designed at a lower tension in order to maximize bow response, tonal blend and playability, making them exceptional for use in small ensemble settings. Short scale viola strings are specifically gauged to fit short-scale viola (body length 13-14 inches) with a playing length of 13 inches (330mm).
