Zyex strings settle in on the instrument very fast, within a matter of hours. Zyex has a warmer sound than most other synthetic core strings, making them excellent for use on brighter sounding instruments.

This review is from: D'Addario Helicore Viola String Set, Medium Scale, Medium Tension (Electronics)

Purchased and installed these strings for a friend's viola and they sound terrific, even a bit better that Dominants. Highly Recommended.
