Description

The Amber string set has been developed with the aim of achieving the sound quality of the best gut strings without any tuning instabilities. The set features W-Core®, a completely new core material developed by our Research & Development team. The E of this set is made from a special alloy with a spiral design which increases the elasticity to produce a warm sound free of whistles and metallic overtones. (Manufacturer's description)

Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Not a beginner's strings.
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Nice tone, ring out well. My intonation has definitely improved because of that.

Cons: Went out of tune a lot for the first two weeks, but settled down well afterwards. They also benefit from increased rosin application.

Other: Probably not for the absolute beginner. Good if you have a slightly better violin, and are prepared to work with them for a few weeks.

A pleasure to play

Pros: The stability is excellent. The tones produced ditto. Worth the extra money for these two essential characteristics.

Cons: None

Other: A wound E string would make this the perfect set for me.

Berwick upon Tweed, United Kingdom

Beginner

Nearly unbelievably good

Pros: Settled in within a few days. What I find refreshing is that they stay in tune remarkably well, even amazingly so. They sound nearly as good as Eudoxa wound gut strings but are extremely stable.

Cons: I am not very keen on single-wire E-strings on my present violin and although I like the Warchal single-wire E-string, I eventually changed it for a Eudoxa wound E which blends in perfectly with the Warchal G, D and A. This is probably a personal preference. I am not faulting the Warchal, which is a good E-string, but I prefer a softer-toned E-string at the moment.

Other: Overall, these are the best strings that I have used so far and I will continue to use them. Highly recommended.
