ALISA WEILERSTEIN
With most strings, I find you can achieve either projection or a wide range of colours and subtleties, but not both. With medium Superior Jargar A and D strings and Thomastik Spirocore G and C, however, I can cover the widest expressive range and get my sound out to the back of the hall with no problems. The strings aren’t just loud, they have a complex variety of shades. One of the things I love the most about my instrument, a 1723 Montagnana, is that it’s a total chameleon capable of producing a broad spectrum of sounds. It’s great to have strings that reflect that.
