Thanks Mimi. That video is probably a bit misleading because the piece is in a very low register, so in the interest of balance I've uploaded a little extract showing what those strings sound like high up as well as low down.
I'm just learning this piece and I made a mess of some of it, especially the intonation on the G string at the end, but it's good for showing how those strings sound because it goes high up and low down. I messed up a shift at one point and reset back a few bars, but I cut out the part where I swore. lol

Oooh thank you, it sounds lovely....I was tempted to buy some Warshal Ambers because they seemed to sound really nice on the mg fm video...but I like the tone of the ones you are playing on now...

Nice work @Jim Dunleavy sounds good !
I play a slightly different B-part on IWW (but then again I doubt if there is any one "proper" way given the variety of versions you can hear - let alone find on sheet ROFL).
Never tried these strings, but they do sound nice on that instrument, good choice I'll keep them in mind next time I'm planning a new set for the Concert.
Thanks for sharing that
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Very nice playing, @Jim Dunleavy. I found your Washerwoman bowing pattern worthy of emulation (and well executed.) Since I'm clueless in the trad music department, I'd be curious to know if that's a traditional bowing pattern or your own which just happens to work well?
Thanks @bocaholly . That's just my own bowing pattern that seemed to fit the rhythm best. I don't know if it's the approved one for that type of jig.

Thanks Bill. I'm happy with the sound for sure, but I've had strings before that sounded good but didn't last very long before going dull, so I'll reserve judgement. They're slightly cheaper than Dominants if you shop around.
