Westminster E is my first choice for the e string, it works great on my violin. It has brilliant sound, just enough tension and overall is a very good string.
Compared with much more expensive one like Dominant, these don't fall short!
I’m so regretfull for counting on you. I were not satisfy with my string because it camed defective but you gaved me 0 options to solve it.
Playing Stark version of G and C for more than 30 years all over the World. Love the clear projection and power of these strings. Highly appreciated and recommended.
Super light and comfortable, seems to let the instrument vibrate more. Can take a while to figure out the best combination of interchangeable feet, but worth the effort and money.
I have tried various A and D strings on my cello
Versum solo, Rondo , Jargar classic, superior
Prim D, etc.,
The Evoke A and D have traditional Jargar classic characteristics, but are better....more responsive, more projection, and they last a long time, in like Thomastic products.
Rich tone which compliments other strings with warm sound. Great projection. Fun to play.
Very happy with these strings. The seem very balanced and give a rich tone with a quick response.
The Pirastro Oliv G is the very best of the best strings. It has the warmest, most robust sound imaginable, and does not crack under pressure. The 16.5 stiff gauge is noticeably better than the 16 or lower gauges. It’s definitely worth the extra few dollars to get the stiff type over the regular kind, if you have the choice. The rigid G is a bit stronger and withstands more bow pressure.
I love this set of Pirazzi & Larson, it’s a good combination
It’s a wonderful rosin, I really like the sound of it and it makes a big difference to me. Highly recommended!
I am a professional violist and have been a die-hard Evah Pirazzi user for over a decade. The increasing cost of the Pirazzi strings made me start looking for alternatives. After careful consideration, reading all the reviews and videos on the Warchal Amber strings, I decided to give them a try. After the 'break-in' period (which takes a few more days than the Pirazzi to settle to pitch) I am pleasantly surprised by these strings. I have a large viola - 17.25" - with a vibrating length of 15.5". The Warchal Amber large string length is just fine. I prefer an aluminum A but I wanted to try the steel A, so I ordered the set plus an additional aluminum A. I have the steel on now - I'll try the aluminum A later. So far so good. The first thing I noticed is how easy these strings are to play. Double-stops are much easier and better to play in tune. The C string is active and projects really well. The D and G are equally as good. The steel A sounds really good - not overly harsh as other steel A's I've tried. The packaging of the strings shows the quality that goes into making these strings. Not the flimsy string packs you normally get. Overall, I am fully satisfied with the move to the Warchal Amber Viola strings. High quality without the high price. Only time will tell if these strings are as robust as the Evah Pirazzi's.
This dolce Jargar a string for viola is not too bright and settles in easily
My students are playing more relaxed with these bow cushions on their bows.
They are not too bulky. They're more of a slim fit.
Just a little extra grip helps my students feel at ease holding the bow.
Love 'em!
These Infeld strings work well with my violin my G string is loud and E string quite so the G and D blue and red A and E help even the volume.
And Concord music has best prices and service of anyone I have used,Thank you Concord.
I have been using these strings for a at least a year on a 1940's Italian violin. They seems to last at least 6 months without losing any tone or projection. I was using PI strings before and finally just lost interest in how unpredictable they were and even the sound they made. The Perpetual (regular, not the cadenzas) strings seems to have everything that I have been looking for for some time- tone, projection,dynamics and consistency.
Note: I use the G, D, A, for the E, I use a Heavy gauge Gold Lable.
I highly recommend these strings!!!!
Personally, I prefer the Silver wound string as I find the Tungsten Wound very difficult to break in and takes longer for my instrument, which is from 1772. Maybe the older instruments need a bit more coaxing?
Disclaimer: This is my personal experience with my violins. Other violins might behave otherwise.
I started using Dominant strings in 1975. I was happy with them until I got the "maybe there's something better" bug. I went through many periods of trying other popular string: Oliv, Eudoxa, Synoxa, Obligato, Tonica, natural gut, Aricore, EVAHS, Golds, Blues, Reds, Larsen's Original, Tzigane, Virtuoso (these are quite good), and others. I've used the Heifetz, Oistrakh, and Kremer, setups...and many mixed combinations. Many of the NEW strings that come out have too much tension, squashing the sound...maybe they are louder or more piercing. But for MY VIOLINS, I keep coming back to Dominants with either a Gold Label E or Goldbrokat E. They are priced well, last a reasonable length of time, not high tension, and have a good dynamic and tonal range. At some point recently I decided to focus more on 'the music' and accept that I can't afford a STRAD and can't make my violins sound like one.
I had purchased a set for strings from Amazon that were advertised as Dominant Strings. When I put them on they were not the same I had contacted the manufacture about possible fakes but to no avail. Then as I was commentating with another musician he told me how to identify fake strings from China. I never dreamed that someone would stoop that low. The strings from amazon just weren't right and I couldn't figure it out I thought it was me, so I practiced more ,hit did not help. So I purchased a set of strings from Concord Musical Supplies recommended by the other musician and my problem is solved. How wonderful to have people that are honest people of integrity that you can depend on and not have to worry about being deceived. Thank You Concord Musical Supply you now have another customer.
Once again it goes to show that every violin is different. I tried these on my last violin which was a snow lutheria PV 800 and I hated them. They were kind of scratchy and the bow skidded quite a bit. On this violin, they are FANTASTIC! They sound very crisp and warm with outstanding bow response and they are very smooth sounding as well. I am not sure that these are like Evah Pirazzi. They can go up against a string like Dominants Obligato or Corelli Alliance They are not as dark as Obligato's and certainly smoother and more cleaner than Dominants Also they are not as loud as Evah Pirazzi. If you like either Dominants, Obligato's or even Corelli Alliance but have trouble with the stiffness of Corelli Alliance, I would give these a try.
I've purchased this set twice so far. The strings sound good initially and responded well, but with my last set, I noticed the G string did not last whatsoever and sounds/performs like a very old string (buzzing, distorted sound, etc). The first set I purchased did not do this so perhaps it was defective. Overall decent strings, minus the G string issue.
