Fantastic strings with virtues de sobra

 

With a very warm tone and color, offering a subtle handling in long phrases, with a quick response and great ductility, the Charm strings from sergistrings are one of the most interesting options for those who want to complement their instrument.

 

In the world of bowed string instruments, all of us who need to stay active, professionals in orchestras and groups, teachers and students of different stages, know what the cost of strings means, especially for cellists and double bass players. .

Therefore, purchase options are always welcome, especially those in which quality is indisputable. It should also be said that the quality-price ratio makes the Charm a great option.

 

How to acquire them

They have a website that, with great clarity of design and without being ostentatious, makes clear the procedures that must be followed. It could be said that in a few clicks you can access your strings. For 4/4 instruments there is the option of acquiring each string individually and also complete sets. Likewise, and here we must highlight the note, strings for the different measures of violoncello and violin. This is very interesting because it enriches the current offer of strings for students. From here we hope that the option to buy individual strings in other measures will be available soon. You never know (especially in very young students) if an emergency may arise.

 

Presentation, delivery times, etc.

The presentation of the strings is impeccable; at the height of the most prestigious on the market. Once the order is placed, it takes a very, very short time. Obviously it will have to do with the distances but, they deliver them to you by hand and at most in 2 business days. They are hermetically protected, which guarantees that you are the one who handles the product from the time it leaves the factory until it arrives at your home.

The game comes in a hard box. It shows an artisan product, fine and well finished.  And well, put on the instrument, I can say first hand, the surprises begin on the sound plane. Without being excessively soft they feel very manageable. I know that in this matter of tensions, string stiffness, diameters and other factors there is a lot to talk about and of course there is an undeniable factor that is the taste of the instrumentalist. I would dare to say that, if you have long work sessions, it is appreciated that your ropes do not take it with your bodybuilding. At the end of my rehearsals (sessions of more than 5 hours), if I have to be honest, I felt very comfortable.

Whoever has taken the trouble to design these strings, I think you can feel very satisfied with the result.

I would not like to end without first thanking Sergi Boadella and Jordi Palau for the opportunity to get to know and test their strings.
