Frequently asked questions

Why can't I buy Warchal Timbre strings online? Does that mean they're unavailable?

Warchal Timbre strings are only available in store or by calling our customer service line at (800) 359-9351. Timbre strings are part of Warchal's Luthier Exclusivity Program (LEP), which excludes them from online sales.

What are Warchal Timbre Strings?

Warchal Timbre strings are a premium line of violin and viola strings designed to produce a warm, complex, and highly responsive sound. They are engineered for players seeking tonal depth, clarity across registers, and a natural, resonant feel under the bow. Warchal describes this line as "our finest string yet, utilizing all of our knowledge and experience. Timbre combines gut-like sound and response with the extra projection and stability that synthetic strings can deliver."

Are Timbre strings available for both violin and viola?

Yes. Warchal produces separate Timbre sets for violin and viola, each designed specifically for the instrument's range, tension needs, and tonal characteristics.

Why does Johnson String Instrument carry Timbre strings?

We are one of a limited number of sellers authorized to carry this exclusive string line. Our Customer Service Associates can help players determine whether Timbre strings are the right fit for their instrument, setup, and playing.
