Amber

Characteristics

The Amber set was developed to deliver the sound quality of the finest gut strings—without the usual tuning instabilities. It features W-Core®, a completely new core material created by our Research & Development team.

Following the success of the Amber violin set, Warchal has now introduced the Amber set for viola.

Violists can now benefit from Warchal’s innovative design, offering two A string options: metal and synthetic. The metal core A string incorporates our helix design, which gives it exceptional elasticity and a new level of tonal richness. The synthetic core A string, along with the rest of the set, uses our W-Core® material.

Viola strings are available in two sizes:

• Medium Vibrating Length: 14″–15″ (36–38 cm)

• Long Vibrating Length: 15″–15.75″ (38–40 cm)

Please note that we specify vibrating string length, not body size. For violas with an exact vibrating length of 38 cm, we recommend selecting the Medium size.

To avoid damaging your strings, it is essential to choose the correct Warchal viola string size based on the vibrating length of your instrument (the distance between the bridge and the nut), not the body length. We find that most violas fall into the Medium category.
