The Savarez 510ARJ is a mixed tension Alliance Cantiga set: normal tension Alliance KF composite (carbon) trebles with high tension Cantiga basses. Many players find this the best of both worlds, with trebles that stay supple and easy to articulate and basses that drive hard and project. The Cantiga basses are warm and long-lasting; the Alliance trebles are bright and precise.
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. For uniform tension, see the 510AR (normal) or 510AJ (high).
