• Tone – provides access to a rich tonal range – Synthetic core strings have more overtones and a richer, fuller tone because the bending stiffness is lower. This allows higher frequencies (higher harmonics) to travel along the string, which isn’t as possible with steel strings.

• Pitch stability – 2X the tuning stability as major competitors – There is no other synthetic core string on the market that stretches less than Ascenté. That means much less time is spent tuning the instrument and more time is spent on meaningful practice – a big win for orchestral directors and teachers. If you’re not a daily player, don’t worry – your strings will be in tune, right where you left them even a few days or weeks later.  

• Enhanced durability – dramatically outperforms all competitors in corrosion tests – The G and D strings are wound with Monel, a metal which is much more durable than silver or aluminum (commonly used for other G and D strings).  The corrosion resistance is off the charts. They make boat propellers from Monel for a reason. The A string construction is aluminum, but we use a single wrap where our competitors use two thin wraps. That means the outer layer of our A string (the string that most violinists wear out first) will last significantly longer than any of our competitors’.  

• Resilience – performs at the highest level of resilience against all competitors – The combination of Monel windings on D and G, and an aluminum wrap on A that is 2x as thick as our competitors’ provides resilience beyond all other synthetic brands.
