Description
The Warchal Amber viola strings combine all of the experience and knowledge available to make the highest quality string set. The aim was to achieve at least the same quality of sound that gut strings provide, but without the typical tuning instability. To do this Warchal developed a completely new core material called W-Core®.
The Amber strings are available with both the synthetic as well as metal core A strings. The metal core A string benefits from the helix design which gives the metal core exceptional elasticity and results in a new level of sound quality. The synthetic core A string and the rest of the set uses the new W-Core® material.
Available with vibrating string lengths of 14-15″ (36-38cm), or 15-15.75″ (38-40cm). This length is the distance along the string from the bridge to the nut. A 14-15″ vibrating string length will generally fit a 15-15.5″ viola, while a 15-15.75″ vibrating string length is better for a 16″ or larger viola. Measuring your particular instrument is the best way to determine which size is appropriate.
The Amber string set is complemented by an exceptionally beautiful and luxurious silk winding design.
- A: Stainless Steel over metal core, or Hydronalium over synthetic core
- D: Hydronalium over synthetic core
- G: Stainless steel/Pure Silver over synthetic core
- C: Stainless steel/Pure Silver over synthetic core

I have never found a string that I really love for my bright viola. Everything I have tried always had a slow response, or had so much tension that it was hard to play. I had never heard of Warchal strings, but I am so glad I found them. I love them! They are so easy to play on, which I love, and have a beautiful warm and resonant tone. One thing I didn’t realize is that they recommend a cover for loop end tuners. (there is a link on their website). Wish I had known so I could buy it in advance.

My son wanted a warmer/darker sound strings. After a long research, we narrowed down to 2 choices. We asked Southwest String for help. The customer service replied our email with very detailed information. Warchal Amber has a very warm/dark sound (no one will ever comment that your viola sounds like a violin), which my son really loves. Although it seems a bit lacking in projection … but the strings are still pretty new so we’ll have to wait and see. Overall, a great purchase experience.

Sent long scale strings that are not labeled long. Refused to refund. 20 years of loyalty out the window right there.
