The higher string was a 109, I think.  The lower string was a Thomastik viola C.

I don't know how this stringing would work on another instrument, but we were
really pleased with how the Chinook sounded with it.  It really works with the
resonance of the instrument.

What one doesn't get from the sample is the volume - the Chinook really makes
it presence known with authority.  ;-)
