Hi! I would like to know how do the Infeld Blue and Red E strings compare to the Goldbrokat E?
Which one in ur opinion is best for clearness, brightness, warmth and power? Thanks :)
I am using Evah Pirazzi medium gauge on A,D and G.
I would like to find a steel E string (not gold-plated) that has the same or similar warmth, clarity, power and brightness to a gold-plated E
(gold-plated Es whistle easy..). Trying to find if the Infeld-Blue E or the Jargar E would fit the descriptions... :)
I think the Infeld Blue E is excellent. I was quite surprised at that. The A, D, and G are too bright for my fiddle, but the E has a very pure sound. I like it. Different from Goldbrokat, but I can't describe the difference in words that are meaningful.
How different are sounds of Infeld blue and Evah Pirazzi?
I love my Infeld Red E, as I discussed in one of my blogs.
I love the Goldbrokat E and now use Infeld Red for A and D and Blue for G. The E, at least for me, has been the least forgiving on my violin until the Goldbrokat.

The Infeld Blue is steel, the Infeld Red Gold-plated. They are very different from the Goldbrokat. Depends what you are looking for in a string, and what you are using for the A,D,G.
Cheers!
