Alphayue 12" Viola C - Monel/Synthetic, Medium

A durable, warm low C for fractional student violas

The Thomastik-Infeld Alphayue Viola C string is a dependable upgrade for 12" violas, designed to help young players get a clearer, steadier low register. On smaller instruments, the C string can feel sluggish or unstable—Alphayue is built to speak more easily, support a centered pitch, and make string crossings feel more secure in lessons and school orchestra.

This medium-gauge C uses a synthetic core with a Monel winding, giving students a comfortable left-hand feel and a warm, focused response under the bow. Monel is also valued for durability, making it a practical choice for rentals and busy rehearsal schedules where strings need to hold up. A ball end fits many common fractional viola tailpiece setups for straightforward installation.
