WARCHAL RUSSIAN & AVANTGARDE
Warchal — Russian Style & Avantgarde (Violin A)
Two metal A-string options developed by Warchal: Russian Style A for a smooth, powerful transition between E and A; Avantgarde A with a full-length helix for extra warmth, depth and rapid response.
Which metal A should I choose?
Metal A designed for a seamless, mellow switch between alto and soprano registers, with excellent response and durability.
Combines Russian Style with Warchal’s helix concept for added elasticity, warmth and clarity under full attack.
Both A strings pair well with synthetic or gut D/G sets; choose by feel and tonal preference.

What players say about Warchal Russian Style A
“Sweet, clean and steady — no harshness”
Projects a sweet, firm tone without metallic edge; articulates well and carries attractive warmth across instruments.
“Solved my open A harshness”
Tamed a bright open A; now sounds great on their violin.
“Good buy — nicer tone on my fiddle”
Noticeable tone improvement; better match than their previous A on this instrument.
“Warm for steel, great response & overtones”
Pairs beautifully with silver-wound gut D/G; strong volume and colour (tonal peak softened after 2–3 months).
“Warm, responsive, extremely stable”
Bridges synthetics D ↔ steel E seamlessly; long-lasting and very reliable on a modern instrument.
“Seriously loud combo with Amber E + Brilliant D/G”
Easy to play, loud and durable; sits well with the E in brightness/feel. (Too tense on their 19th-century fiddle.)
“Great finish, feel and longevity”
Balances well with Amber E; bright, easy response and long life.
“Clear, warm and rock-steady”
Preferred over their previous A; blends beautifully with Eudoxa G/D and a Hill E; stability is a big plus.
What players say about Warchal Avantgarde A
“Clean, sweet tone with instant response”
Tamed a strong A on a modern violin; subtle improvement in the right direction and very reliable feel.
“Balances the set — no D→A jump now”
Evened out volume and quality across all four strings; high positions now sing comfortably.
“Good sound, long life — helix feel not for me”
Thin feel and solid tone, but the helical ridges left tiny bumps that felt awkward during fast shifts.
“State-of-the-art for a Russian setup”
Works as intended in a steel A/E + gut/synthetic D/G configuration; minor damper tweak improved feel.
