High C String recommendations

[Alexi David]

I am using a High C gut string made by Red-O-Ray. I would like to find something that is a bit less nasal sounding. I'll use a non-gut string, as long as it can match the sound of the other strings. I'm using plain gut G & D, and Spiro reds on the E & A. Anyone out there have any experience with High C strings? Thanks!

I guess not too many people into high C's judging from the overwhelming response so far.

Choices are somewhat more limited and so is my experience.

Superflexible: loud, bright, rings well, great for pizz solos, but too shrill bowed. Unlikely to be a good fit with your guts and not a good fit with my Belcanto G, but I use it anyway.

Spirocore: well, spirocore

Obligato: my least favorite of the 3 although I actually want a darker and more bowable string. The obligato I bought was nasal and buzzy when bowed. Not as bright as the others, yet I took it off fairly quickly.

There are Oliv high C strings. This might match a lot better than any steel string.

I ended up taking a plain gut G and tuning it up a fourth. AMAZING fat sound, with nice tension. I did the same for the other strings.

Pirastro makes a Flexocor high C... blends well with others, not too shrill.
