Savarez Corelli New Crystal 732M Viola Strings

Warm, Natural Tone for the Full-Size Viola

The Savarez Corelli New Crystal 732M is a single replacement D string engineered for full-size (4/4) violists who want a warmer, more traditional voice than typical steel strings provide. Its core is built from a specially optimised high-grade nylon polymer — the same family of high-molecular-weight material Savarez uses across the New Crystal line — and the string is finished with a precision aluminium winding that gives the D string its characteristic clear yet woody response. Players upgrading from factory steel strings will notice an immediate softening of the upper partials and a rounder fundamental, while the medium tension keeps the left-hand feel familiar. The ball-end fitting matches standard viola tailpieces, so installation is straightforward for any player or technician.

Who This String Is For

The Savarez Corelli New Crystal 732M is the right choice for full-size viola players who want a warmer, more traditional D string than steel or bright synthetic alternatives. It suits ambitious students stepping up from basic steel strings, conservatory players seeking a rounder blend in chamber-music settings, and orchestral violists who need a string that sits comfortably in a section without dominating it. The medium tension keeps the left-hand response predictable, while the aluminium winding over a nylon core produces the woody, unforced tone that defines the New Crystal line. Because it is sold as a single replacement D string, it is also ideal for players who want to refresh one worn string without replacing the full set.
