D'Addario's Kaplan Amo creates a wonderful balance between a big soloist sound but more warmth that is hard to come by in that category of strings.  These strings are perfect for those that already have a bright instrument and would like to have a projecting sound without becoming shrill.

I was given a set of these to try.. Very Good Strings.. I found that the richness and warmth of these is just what i was looking for... especially the D and A..Much warmer than Eva Parazzi or Vision.. Had them on for 6 weeks and just getting better.. So. If you are interested in a great warm string.. look for a try them.. Not sure about a price point yet.. Good luck

Loving the GD&E... the A however, is a bit too bright compared to the rest of the set and doesn't respond as well as the other strings.
