NOVA Strings

If you have spent any time online recently monitoring the bowed string community sites you are aware of the excitement being generated by a small string company from Slovakia. Lately we've been fielding a lot of enquiries so we figured it was time for a "NOVA Strings Cheat Sheet" devoted to Warchal.

The Warchal String company is the result of two generations of working musicians located in Borinka, Slovakia. In 1960, Bohdan Warchal established the Slovak Chamber Orchestra and under his leadership the orchestra developed and gained worldwide recognition. During his 40 years of directing the orchestra, he produced more than 150 records and CDs. He also taught at several prestigious universities.
His son, Bohdan Warchal, Jr., graduated from Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Czech Republic and has been a member and later the concertmaster of the Slovak Chamber Orchestra. Warchal strings came into existence because Bohdan Jr. was unable to find a violin string that satisfied his needs and decided to see if he could produce his own. He pulled together a team of experts and, drawing on two generations of extensive playing experience, he began experimenting.The result is a line of strings tailor made by players for players.

THE BRILLIANT string set designed for the most demanding players, offers concert-hall projection, luxurious and rich tonal complexity, as well as superior durability and responsiveness. The "D" silver produces a well focused, noble sound. The "D" hydronalium sounds more luminous and powerful, ideal for enhancing the sonority of the middle register.

The AMETYST handmade string set offers a rich palette of sounds with soprano shadings and distinct contours; though intended for better musical instruments, they improve fiddles in all categories.

The KARNEOL handmade string set produces well-balanced tones and velvet shadings that can be sculpted effectively. These violin strings have what Warchal calls a certain "willingness to cooperate."

The NEFRIT string set provides superior quality for their price and are designed for musical instruments requiring more intensive bow pressure.
