As I opened the package I was little skeptical because it was a bit thinner than other brand D strings I usually use. But when I put it on my cello I was pretty impressed with the sound: warm and round sound yet clear and accurate in pitches. I highly recommend it!
Larica Cello Rosin Grade 4 is perfect for cello and Concorde sells is at the right price.
G and C tungstens are the only strings I’ve been using for over 25 years - nothing sounds better on my cello.
Cello D strings are a challenge
I have tried and rejected many!
I am not a Larsen guy… tried various Jargar, prim ,etc, etc, Versum, etc
Rondo, etc
The Evoke D is the best and longest lasting d string I have ever used., hands down , and I am an a veteran
I own two wood KorfkerRest and decided to get the Luna. While the wood version provides warmth to the viola, Luna provides clarity in the sound. Both are good, but I like Luna more. I also enjoy the updated design, simpler, easy to fit in a case. Great product, well designed. Easy to adjust the width.
It has been a wonderful String to play on. It just sings!
It’s been years since I’ve been playing on Dominant strings. Love it!
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.
