Viola Brasileira Strings

The viola brasileira, or Brazilian viola, is a folk guitar slightly smaller than a classical guitar whose history in Brazil dates to the 16th century. It has 10 metal strings in five courses.

We offer viola brasileira strings that are optimized for different tunings: cebolao re and boiadeira, rio abaixo and meia guitarra, and cebolao mi and boiadeira. The sets are nickelplated steel wound strings with tin plated plain steels, and offer a bright, crisp tone and superb intonation.

If we don't offer the viola brasileira strings that you're seeking, you can get them fast with a Special Order. In most cases, we’ll add the strings to our regular stock to make your next order even easier.
