- Synthetic-core A: provides the closest tonal match with the remainder of the set.
Choose size by vibrating string length, not body size.

- If the vibrating string length is exactly 38 cm, choose Medium.
What players say about Warchal Karneol
“Full sound, projects easily”
Warm, even tone with excellent projection; took a little time to hold tuning; watch the E for squeaks on some setups.
“Student loved the upgrade”
Swapped out old Dominants — brighter, more resonant, and good value for money.
“Nicest synthetics I’ve used”
Clear, bright tone; comfy under the fingers; appreciated the maker’s recycling scheme.
“Warmer & more forgiving”
Great choice after Dominants; warmer voice and settled within a couple of days — bought a second set.
“Warm, easy, long-lasting”
Mellow with bite on demand; play easily and last well. (Replaced the E to stop occasional whistle.)
“Great value for money”
Warm, rich and quick to settle; tends to swap the E for something less edgy.
“Lovely warm tone”
Exactly the sound I was after; would happily buy again.
“Strong choice for students”
Balanced tone and soft feel after settling; needs time to stabilise and be careful not to over-tune; E is ok but not my favourite.
“Responsive — prefer to Amber”
Very responsive on my violin and better priced than the alternative I’d been using.
