Violin, Viola, Cello & Bass Size Charts

Children grow at different rates, so measurements beat age. When a player falls between two sizes, choose the smaller one.

D’Addario Zyex Violin Strings are designed for players who want a warm, powerful tone without sacrificing clarity, response, or projection. Built around D’Addario’s advanced synthetic core, Zyex strings offer a smooth, comfortable feel under the bow with the responsiveness needed for clean articulation, expressive phrasing, and confident playing across a wide dynamic range.

The set is exceptionally well balanced from string to string, with a clear and focused upper register complemented by a rich, resonant lower end. Zyex strings respond quickly, project well, and provide the tonal depth many players associate with traditional gut strings while offering the greater stability and consistency of a modern synthetic core.

Another major advantage is their excellent tuning stability. Zyex strings settle in quickly and are highly resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, making them a dependable choice for daily practice, rehearsals, auditions, and performances.

For advancing students, serious orchestral musicians, and professional players alike, D’Addario Zyex Violin Strings offer an excellent combination of warmth, projection, responsiveness, stability, and durability—making them a versatile upgrade for a wide range of violins and playing styles.
