If you have spent any time online recently monitoring the bowed string community sites you are aware of the excitement being generated by this small string company from Slovakia.

Warchal Brilliant...

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 silver "D" produces a well focused, noble sound.
The "D" hydronalium sounds more luminous and powerful, ideal for enhancing the sonority of the middle register.

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.

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.
