Using these viola strings is easy. First, make sure your viola is a long - scale one with a body length of 16 - 16 1/2 inches and a playing length of 15 inches (380mm). Remove the old strings carefully and then install the new Kaplan Vivo strings one by one. Tune them up slowly until you reach the right pitch. As they have a short break - in time, you'll start enjoying their great sound soon. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in their sealed pouches when not in use to protect them from moisture and other elements that can cause corrosion. Also, wipe the strings gently with a clean cloth after each use to keep them in good condition. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the strings promptly for the best performance.
