Amber Viola Set

I love the way these sound on my viola. They have a warm, rich sound, and their lower tension makes for easier fingering. I have the steel A, and it works well on my instrument. They played in very quickly and have settled nicely. I use a Spector mute and the pretty windings have held up well so far. I've only played these for a few weeks, so I can't speak to longevity.
Concord has a very competitive price on these, and they're always great to deal with.

These are really nice strings. They are low tension, like Dominants, and share some of the directness of the tone of Dominants, but with more richness. I have the set with the synthetic A. I've tried many strings ... Dominants, Obligatos, Kaplan, Jagar, Corelli, Helicore, Zyex, Spirocore. I like these best.

This is the second set of Ambers I've tried and the first time with metal A. The last set lasted for about 4 months for me with almost daily playing. I like the sound, big, warm, and a little breathy. Takes about a week of playing to break in. My only complaint is they ring too long. Both the metal A and synthetic A were well matched. The metal A is little more piercing and responsive. Take a little more pressure for string crossings compared to all metal Daddario Kaplans I was using before (those are very easy to play).

Put the Amber viola set on my Tom DeLuca 16" hand crafted in 2008 viola. Strings are still stretching a bit but are very similar in tone to Dominant strings.
Very soft on the fingers. The C string is a little larger in diameter then a Dominant C. Overall, they seem a little louder then the Dominants and a little louder
then the set of Warchal Karneols that I have on my other DeLuca viola. Overall, I am quite pleased. Since they have very little playing time so far, I can not
comment on overall durability.
