Warchal Brilliant Cello Set

I tried the Warchal Brilliant cello strings after being disappointed with other brands I had tried on my current cello (Mirecourt c. 1890), which I have had for two years. The strings took 3-4 days to lose their edge, and about 7 days to stop stretching and settle in. The Brilliant strings are superb, comparable to the Larsen A and D that I used to favor on my previous cello (Germany, 1890), before they became so expensive. The cello I now have took over a year to really open up, but I was disappointed in the upper register. No longer. The Warchal Brilliant A and D are richer, with more projection, than I thought possible. The strings are even across all registers. They bring out the best in my instrument.
Chords are easy to play, in fact, the response is quick in general.

Beforehand, I had worried that they might have a rather "plastic" feel, but in fact, the feel under the hand is very similar to the metal core strings I have played my whole life. The only caveat I have is that with fine tuners, you have to turn twice as far to achieve the same change in pitch.

This is a tough one. So far the Warchal brilliant set has been my favorite set on my cello so far. I play on an old German cello and these strings produce a tone that is wonderfully resonant, clear, and warm. The only problem I had with this set is that the A string does not last very long. I had changed it twice before I decided to go with the Warchal Prototype A string. I prefer the sound of the synthetic A but the prototype string is a good compliment to the rest of the set. As well it is not far off the sound of the synthetic string, and so far has held up to lots of use. I highly recommend the Warchal Prototype A along with the Brilliant D,G,and C strings.

I'm an amateur cellist and play in a community orchestra. I have had a set of Evah Pirazzi Gold strings on my cello for about a year. My cello is a Schroetter German factory made cello c. 1964. My A string sounded like it needed changing. After researching a number of sites I found several recommendations for Warchal strings They were about 1/2 the price of the Evah Pirazzi Golds so I decided to buy a set and give them a try. So far I have only put on the A string. It is excellent and blends well with the other Pirazzi Golds. It took about 2 weeks for the string to completely play in. Initially the string was a bit muted but now it is fine. I play about an hour a day on average, more on weekends. I had to tune it every day at first as it stretched (synthetic core). Now I can tune it with the fine tuner as necessary. I haven't tried the other 3 strings yet but expect they will be great.
