Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off Lovely sound; fiddly to find correct bow pressure
Pros: The sound is wonderfully warm! Intonation is very forgiving and it feels comfortable under the left hand fingers due to its lower tension. Colour range is fantastic and it blends well with the other strings - not as nasal as my previous D. Remarkably stable tuning-wise for a gut string. It's an excellent string for orchestral and chamber music.
Cons: If pushed too much the sound becomes scratchy but one has to apply enough pressure so that the string actually speaks properly - this balance can be tricky to find and it took longer to find with the D than the G string. It does not project as much as synthetic strings either so is less appropriate for solo performance but it will work in the right acoustic with the right technique.
