About Perpetual
Designed for projection and clarity.
Pirastro Perpetual strings are built for modern violists who need a bright, focused sound with excellent projection. The synthetic core delivers enhanced stability and a fast response, keeping the tone clear and consistent whether you are in an orchestral section or on stage as a soloist.
The quick response ensures that intricate techniques and articulation can be executed with ease. Perpetual strings maintain clarity across all registers, from low C through to the highest positions on the A string, which is why soloists choose them when they need to cut through an ensemble without sacrificing definition.
The four strings
Each string, in detail.
Bright, focused top voice
The A cuts clearly with a bright, focused character. It responds quickly to bow speed and supports precise articulation in both lyrical and virtuosic passages.
Clear, resonant middle
The D is clear and resonant at the tonal centre. Its projection is strong, carrying well in ensemble contexts without losing definition under a heavy bow.
Focused lower voice
The G balances clarity with enough body to sit well in the lower register. It responds cleanly to position work and maintains definition across dynamic extremes.
Powerful, clear foundation
The C is powerful and clear, projecting well in larger venues. It provides a stable foundation without muddying complex harmonics in the lower register.
Playability
Fast response, strong projection.
Perpetual strings are designed for players who demand quick bow response and consistent projection. The synthetic core settles relatively quickly after installation, and once settled the tone remains stable across long rehearsal and performance sessions.
They are particularly well suited to concertos and solo recitals where the viola needs to project over a full orchestra, and to chamber contexts where clarity and articulation are at a premium.

Pirastro Perpetual viola strings, in short.
What size viola do these fit?
These strings are sized for 4/4 viola, the standard full-size instrument.
How long do Perpetual strings last?
Under regular playing the tone stays consistent for several months. Replace when the sound becomes dull or intonation in the upper positions starts to go false. Wipe rosin off after each session to extend lifespan.
How long do new Perpetual strings take to settle?
Allow 24 to 48 hours of normal playing for pitch to stabilise. Retune gently in small increments during the settling period.
Are these strings authentic Pirastro?
Yes. Symphonia stocks Pirastro strings through the official supply chain. If a string is faulty on arrival or fails prematurely under normal use, contact us and we will arrange a remedy.
Need help choosing?
We can match the string to the instrument.
