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.
*Note: The E-ball IFT version is specifically designed for instruments with integrated fine tuner tailpieces, taking into account the shorter afterlength of the string.
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.
