PKY,
Does it look like this?? if so its normal for that string part of the design it stretches out as you tune it up and leaves a spiral in the string it's suppose to help it not whistle along with sounding better.

Main features:
- Greater dynamic range. No irritating overtones are generated, all energy is transformed into sound of the highest quality.
- Warmer sound which blends perfectly with synthetic or gut core A, D and G strings. There is no audible metallic edge, although the string is made of a special steel alloy.
- Less tension. The unique formula offers more sound at a lower tension.
- Easier tuning. Due to its excellent elasticity, the string can be tuned by fine tuner as well as by peg.
- The string is softer under the finger and intonation is more precise. The Amber E doesn't raise its pitch when pressed towards the fingerboard as an ordinary E string does.
- No whistling.
Install this special E string in the same way as a conventional string. The Warchal Amber E will turn into a hardly visible spiral that will ensure exceptional elasticity and therefore unmatched sound quality and response.
Master the Frog and you have mastered the bow.

Yes, it is like that! Mark, Thanks for the information!
I read some posts in this forum talking about Amber strings and I liked the effect they talked about so I bought it a while back while it was on sale. When I opened it my first thought was: this is an interesting design. I thought it would go between the bridge and the tailpiece and then stretch out. I put it on, it began to stretch, and the spiral was where the bow would bow. My daughter said, "how are you going to bow? I wonder how it sound, I like to try on it." Whereas, I was like, "enh eh!" and began to take it off and thought it was a result of bad quality control. Now I will have to put it back on. I do like the GDA strings. They make my violin sound very nice. So far I think of all the strings (Romanian steel strings, dominant, pro-arte, corelli, zyex) I tried on my violin I like this the best. I had my daughter played Haydn's Serenade, which had a lot of shiftings and being played on higher register, and it sounded so much better than when she played on her 3/4 violin. I will see how it goes.
