One more question concerning Jargar strings. How is the sustain?

Thanks

Short.
They're typically orchestra strings, and there's a lot of dampening material under the outer wrap, in order to give a smooth, gut-like tone. That's a trade-off.
If you want an orchestral-type string with a longer sustain, check Pirastro Obligatos for instance. (synthetic core)

P.S. Instead of starting another thread, why didn't you simply reply to my own answer? Just a hint to help you with the forums.
