Description
The Warchal Amber string set has been developed with the aim of achieving the sound qualities of the best gut strings without any tuning instabilities. The set features W-Core®, a completely new core material developed by the Warchal Research; Development team. The sound is rich and warm, but with depth and texture.
The Amber E string is based on Warchal’s newest research. The composition of the core increases the longitudinal elasticity of the string, which results in a significant sound improvement. The Amber E string, while plain steel, offers a warmer sound and no whistling.
Tone: Warm and complex
Playability: Highly responsive
Stability: Increased stability due to new core material
Standard Warchal Amber set composition:
E string: Steel
A string: Hydronalium over synthetic
D string: Hydronalim-Silver over synthetic
G string: Silver over synthetic
Also available:

Love this string. It pairs perfectly with my Dominant set, but produces much better tone than the Dominant E. No Whistling!

I’ve not used the whole set, just the E string. I was having trouble with a whistling E and can report that the Warchal E cured that on my violin.

Terrible on my violin. Tinny, shrieking, thin sound.

These are my preferred strings on my (loud) modern violin. They’re warm but have a clear tone. I use them for orchestral and chamber music. The E string took a little extra time to get used to (even when the spiral straightens out, there’s still a bit of a bump), and it’s a tiny bit harder to play in the fourth octave register, but the sound is worth it. The D and G are responsive, and I don’t feel that I have to avoid open Es at all costs. I *can* make the E string whistle, but it takes work, which is awkward if I’m trying to demonstrate that sound to a student.

I am new player and wanted to avoid the whistle on the E string. I realize part of it comes down to learning proper technique but the string still whistles very easily. I can run my finger or cloth down it (cleaning) and make it whistle every time.
