I wish it came with a case cover. I love the case.
Last summer, a friend gifted me a beautiful small violin in need of restoration work (fantastically done be goldenviolins.com in Phila. btw) & of a new case. Very glad i found this one that worked perfectly w. an adjustable instrument-holding cushion to snugly fit smaller violins & room for full-size bow. Just make sure to handle the adjusting-cushion from its sticker-side for best results. TY Concord Music!
The string broke in fairly quickly, at least as far as I can compare it to memories from my distant youth of Gold Label and Eudoxa. I tried the Eudoxa heavy before this, which has a lovely tone and good response, but for my purpose on a 1710 Guarneri reproduction baroque cello and a copy of the Amarylis Fleming Brothers Amati “piccolo” cello, I much preferred the performance of this string. The sound is deeper and stronger.
These strings give such a great sound and Concord has the best price for them and fast shipping.
I am Augusto Brito, cellist of the Salta Symphony Orchestra of Argentina. I regularly buy the string set at Concord. They have a powerful sound, with a spectacular timbre and great projection. Highly recommended A and D and Larsen soloists and C and G Spirocore tungsten.
I've used heavier gaged strings like Titanium solo and Il Cannone line for deeper and more colors because my violin has a bright sound.
It seemed working well at first but the tension was too high. And using Dominant for less tension made the sound too flat.
So I was looking for something in between and this set was perfect.
I didn't have to find an alternate E string.
It has wide range of sound in my opinion; good for both ensemble and solo playing.
The Bam Stylus Oblong Viola case is a perfect fit for my Francesco Guadignini viola. I bought it as a replacement for an earlier model Bam Stylus that had seen its day after 10 years or so of gig traveling. I like the inner accessory pouch which is a bit bigger than the earlier model and fits more snuggly in its place. The bow holders are especially nice and hold up to four bows securely. The underside pouch holds sheet music and the bag inside is a good place for extra strings. Overall, it's nicely designed. The zippers work smoothly, and the cover is quite attractive. I’m very happy with it.
Beautiful and it comes in a pretty box. Very fast shipping. Thanks!
I’ve tried the three principal Pirastro gut G and C strings, Gold, Eudoxa, and now Olive. All are well made, the Golds are favored by some early music folks who are frustrated by round-wound baroque reproduction strings (modern strings are flat-wire wound). I remember playing on gold strings as a lad many years ago, when they and Eudoxa were the most commonly used lower strings. They are very good strings, with a somewhat softer, somewhat grittier character than Eudoxa and Olive. The principal differences in these three types is that the Gold offer a lower tension range, the Olive a higher tension (more modern type), and the Eudoxa overlap with the other two. The Olive offer a gut equivalent to modern tension and response for the modern player, the others offer a variety of coloration and response from baroque adjacent through the modern era into the present day.
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.
