Warchal Amber Violin 4/4 LP

The Warchal Amber strings have a unique sound quality, nothing like what I've had till now on my high quality old Italian violin (and I tried so many). I needed a lasting, yet powerful and great sounding strings to use while working as a concertmaster and a solist.

Time:
They settle fully on the instrument in a few quick days. It's important to wait for the strings to stretch, that's when the clarity of the sound really comes.

Sound / ease of playing:
These have none of the metallic or artificial sound qualities many other models have. Once settled, they sound like a human voice- very warm, yet powerful. No need to put any bow pressure. They respond especially well to high bow tension and low pressure = great, singing sound.

Quality of materials:
My hands are very sweaty and acidic, so unfortunately no strings last too long with me. But I had no problems for one month of intense playing and practicing with these (a month is a long time for me). The A string only recently started unwinding in the 3rd position (a problematic string with so many models), and D string tends to stretch quite a bit after a while, the gaps between the windings getting more visible. But even in this condition, the sound quality didn't change at all.
I always used a dry microfiber cloth to clean the strings with very good results (without alcohol).

The E string has been manufactured in a very interesting fashion (curled bow area that stretches into flatness), but I didn't try it yet.

Summary:
Give this strings a go. After having tried dozens of models of the other big brands, I am very pleased with these. You could be surprised.

Très bonne surprise pour ces cordes que j'utilisais pour la première fois. La corde de mi s'installe comme les autres, le ressort se tend et disparait, il n'y a pas de sensation "bizarre".
Le son est immédiatement au rendez-vous: un son rond et plein, chaleureux, pas du tout "acide".
Comme beaucoup de cordes, elles bougent pas mal au départ, il faut souvent se ré accorder.
