Description

SYNTHETIC CORE.

The Brilliant set is intended for players who seek the most projecting sound. It also offers quick tuning stability. Synthetic core strings need about three to four days to settle in before achieving full tone quality.

Metal core as well as Synthetic core A strings are available. The sound of the synthetic A string matches the set perfectly. However aluminium or hydronalium wound A strings are less durable than those with a metal core so we wanted to give players a choice.

Order according to scale length i.e. distance between bridge and top nut. Disregard body length. Click small image above for details.

Pros: cheaper than Evah strings but similar bright powerful sound.

Cons: the C broke fairly soon after being fitted - disappointing, given how good most synthetic core strings are these days

Bold and brilliant sound.

Pros: Bold and brilliant sounding strings.

Cons: I play on an old french viola and they were just a bit to bright sounding for the instrument. Would probably suit a more modern instrument very well.

Love them

Pros: Very bright and loud Clarity on the C-string Good tuning stability once settled

Cons: Took a while to settle Could be too bright if you have a young viola

Other: Really great for me and my instrument - very bright and projecting so might not suit all instruments but are OK for me. The C in particular is lovely and clear with no flobbery response like some Cs. I found it took a while for them to settle in for tuning but once they had, they stay in tune really well.

Grade 8+

Good clarity, tone and value - definitely bright
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Strong sound, good volume possible, rich tone. Good value. The C is especially good, with both clarity and tone.

Cons: Possibly take a little longer to settle in than other synthetics. Quite a good A string (synthetic), but I have gone back to my favourite Larsen A. I found it difficult to get the C to speak quietly in really PP passages.

Other: They really are bright, so could be harsh if you already have a bright instrument, but excellent if you need clarity, especially in the bass.
