Pirastro Tonica Violin Strings – Nylon Core, Medium Tension
Tonica Violin Strings are crafted with a nylon core, delivering a lively, well-rounded sound that is perfectly balanced across all four strings. Designed for responsiveness and tonal clarity, Tonica strings reward both player and listener with an open, direct tone and enhanced projection — without sacrificing warmth.
With reduced background “hiss,” these strings help maintain a smoother, more even tone, especially during delicate passages and string crossings. Their medium tension makes them suitable for a wide range of instruments, while remaining comfortable and easy to play in all positions — even at higher registers.
Tonica strings are also insensitive to temperature and humidity changes, ensuring tuning stability and consistent performance in various environments.
