Description
Unique featured E string aimed at solving the problems associated with conventional strings.
This string features a unique coil design which changes to an almost invisible wave when in use and fully stabilised.
Made from a special alloy with a spiral design which increases the elasticity to produce a warm sound free of whistles and metallic overtones. (Manufacturer's description). Please visit manufacturer's website for more information on this design.
"This violin 'E' string benefits from our 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 our new W-Core® material."
For instruments fitted with an integrated fine tuner tailpiece, please choose the 'IFT' version. According to Warchal, this variation takes into consideration the string length necessary for optimal install.
Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Pros: The sound is slightly warmer than the Warchal Ametyst E which this string temporarily replaces. The tones are good right up to the B on the E on this violin. It seems to have more 'core' or 'heart' than the Ametyst E which is just what I want and most importantly it hardly ever whistles. It also blends in very well with the Ametyst G, D A set fitted 12 days ago.
Cons: None
Other: The coil near the POC looks a bit odd but it straightens out as the string is tuned. It is a brilliant idea to help prevent whistling as I think it resists rotation of the string as it is bowed. Full marks to Warchal. I recommend trying this coiled string highly. It is quite an advance. It does stretch quite a lot immediately after it is fitted but settles down quite quickly.

Not sure what you mean.
Pros: The E string sounded less tinny than others
Cons: The first string was a loop end. The loop snapped after 3 weeks. Wasn't sure whether it was down to me or a fault so didn't make an issue of it. I bought another, this time with a ball end. This is playing well

Pros: Very warm sound . My violin is a 2016 new Guarneri copy.
Cons: It was difficult to get the plastic bridge saver off...I didn't need it as have parchment protector on my bridge.Did manage though to get it off. Takes a couple of days to playing unlike a normal E string.
