Opal Gold Violin Strings

Violin Strings · 4/4

Warm, focused tone on a nylon synthetic-core set.

Opal Gold is a handmade synthetic-core violin string range from For-Tune Strings. The E is a plain steel core for clarity and stability at the top. The A is aluminium-wound on a nylon core for warmth and a quick bow response. The D and G are silver-wound on a nylon core for depth and a centred low register.

The set is voiced for balance across all four strings, giving projection without losing warmth.

Why This String
01

Warm, focused voice

The nylon synthetic core gives a warm body, while aluminium and silver windings keep the response clear and focused under the bow.

02

Steel E for stability

The plain steel E sits cleanly on top of the set, holding pitch and giving a stable upper register without harshness.

03

Balanced across all four

Tensions are matched so projection and warmth carry evenly from G through E, supporting consistent intonation and bow control.

Configuration
String Core Winding Notes
E Steel Plain steel Ball-end.
A Nylon Aluminium Warm, responsive mid voice.
D Nylon Silver Centred, rounded depth.
G Nylon Silver Full low register with projection.
Who It Suits

Advancing students moving from learner steel strings to a synthetic-core set with a warmer, fuller tone.

Players who want projection and balance without the brightness of a fully steel set.

Orchestral and chamber players looking for a stable, focused upper register paired with a warm low end.

Care & Longevity
Restring before tone goes dull or bow response slows, typically several months under regular practice, sooner under heavy use.
Wipe rosin off the strings after each session with a clean, dry cloth.
Store the instrument in stable humidity and temperature. Avoid leaving it in a car or near a heater.
Always tune up to pitch slowly. The steel E and synthetic A, D and G settle within a few sessions of regular play.
Frequently Asked
How is Opal Gold different from Opal Titan?
Opal Gold uses a plain steel E and aluminium or silver windings on a nylon synthetic core, giving a warm, balanced voice. Opal Titan uses titanium windings on the E and A for a more focused top, with copper-silver windings on the D and G.
What size violin do these fit?
This listing covers 4/4 (full size) violin only.
How long do they last?
Several months under regular practice, sooner under heavy use. Replace when tone goes dull or intonation becomes harder to maintain.
Can I buy a single string instead of the full set?
Yes. This product is sold as individual strings only, select E, A, D, or G from the option above. If you want the full set instead, see the Opal Gold Set.
Is the E string ball-end or loop-end?
Ball-end. A removable ball is fitted, so it will work with most standard tailpieces.
Can I return an opened string packet?
No. Strings cannot be returned once the packet has been opened, for hygiene and tension reasons.
What rosin or shoulder rest works best?
Any quality violin rosin works well. Strings, rosin and shoulder rest are independent choices, fit yours to your playing style and instrument setup.
