Why players choose TIMBRE

Made for fitting by luthiers
Supplied straight (not coiled) and installed by specialists for optimum quality.
Expressive yet powerful
Combines old-Italian depth with modern projection and stability.
Smart E-string design
Helix E increases elasticity for a warmer tone and fewer whistles.

Violin

G: old-Italian style overtones — depth and brilliance together (suits most violins).
D: clear projection at every dynamic; Hydronalium used only in the inner winding to avoid sweat-corrosion on the surface; no projection drop.
A options: choose synthetic A for improved tone/response or metal A for a seamless transition between registers. The metal A features a short helix in the bowed area.
E: This string features Warchal’s helix invention for warmth, clean attack, and anti-whistle.

TIMBRE sound characteristics: colour, projection, response

Viola

Launched March 2023, TIMBRE viola is currently an all-synthetic set (metal A in development). Available in one size for now: Medium vibrating length 14–15″ (36–38 cm). Choose size by vibrating string length — the distance from bridge to nut — not by body size. If your instrument is exactly 38 cm, choose Medium.

Break-in & care

Break-in: after fitting, play ~10 minutes at moderate dynamics, retuning as needed (often 6–8 times). If G/D/A sound warm but a little dull, play four full fortissimo strokes on each, close to the bridge, with a slightly slanting bow angle. Retune. Full tone arrives within about 3 hours of playing.

Care: wipe rosin from strings regularly with a microfibre cloth. Never use liquid cleaners. If rosin fuses to the string, scrape gently with a plastic card.

Recommended bowing motion for quick break-in
