The Savarez 510AJ Alliance Cantiga is a high tension set with Alliance KF composite (carbon) trebles over Cantiga basses. Cantiga basses were developed as a warmer, longer-lasting successor to Corum, with a multifilament core and silver-plated winding that gives a rounder, more powerful low end. Against the bright, precise Alliance trebles, that warmth makes for a very well balanced set, which is why the 510AJ has become one of the most popular concert strings in the world.
Savarez has made strings in Lyon, France, since 1770 and pioneered the fluorocarbon treble with its Alliance line; its sets are color-coded by card: red for normal tension, blue for high, yellow for extra high. The 510AR is the normal tension version; the 510AJP upgrades to Cantiga Premium basses.
