Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • One catch of this "pure" tone is that artificial harmonics are little more difficult to pull off, at least compared to Evah Pirazzis.
  • From an open C to the C past the fingerboard on the A-string, you will get a reliable, beautiful tone and vibrato on every note

Reviews around spot (5.00 of 5)

  • It's a very defined sweet spot with abrupt boundaries.
  • Since these strings have a "sweet spot" behavior, this may be due to my bowing technique
  • If you bow well, things operate smooth as silk, but a bad bow stroke will throw things totally out of whack until you correct the problem and the string "snaps" into its sweet spot.

Reviews around perpetuals (5.00 of 5)

  • To put it in culinary terms, Perpetuals are like salt and butter while most strings are seasoning packets.
  • While many strings will spice up the voice of the cello, Perpetuals seem to work with my cello's natural sound.

Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • They also have an incredibly balanced sound between the four strings, making string hops a lot less dangerous--a blessing for my Bach cello suite No. 4 prelude
