Here is my review of the Gallistrings Ouverture set.
On the packaging there was a "light" sticker. On the website there are no different tensions available. So I am not sure weather this is a prototype of a light set or weather this is the normal set, which has a relatively light tension.
Please excuse the little noise that sometimes occured when playing - my mic had a bad day...
If you like my channel, I would really appreciate a little support (PayPal is better because there is no fee if you send to friends):

Probably my favorite set you’ve reviewed with how solid they sound pizz and arco definitely going to purchase these asap

@stringmatrix Год назад

Yes, a very interesting set!

@abara887 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, but where can I buy just D&G I'd love to mix them with Spiro mittels E&A. I reckon that would sound great.

@danielgueli Год назад

Great video!!

Thanks for another great video. My impression of the full srt was that they had a nice and balanced sound string to string that matched eachother. The mixed set were quite far from each other in timbre, but maybe with some playing (and the strings getting dirtier over time) they might become closer to each other. The olives have quite a luscious sound with quite a muted top end compared to the Galli. Great work!!

Awesome work as always Herve. I really appreciate the time you’ve put into these experimentations. You’ve saved a bunch of bassists time and $$$! Curious how this set compares to the Tempera set you reviewed in an earlier video? Punch, attack, amplification, bowablility? Both seem to be cutting edge synthetic strings on the market… the Temperas being quite a bit more expensive.. thanks man!

Danke !

@Opus766 Год назад

Great performance! Sounds great in headphones. The full set of ouverture sounds mellow and even, and I didn't think they were too bright. Not sure they blend with the olivs.

@stringmatrix Год назад

Thank you! You are right, they are definitely not too bright. I just meant "too bright" referring to my taste and my quest for a "perfect string" (according to my preferences).

@patrickmanet6152 Год назад

Très intéressant, merci beaucoup pour ce test. Elles ne roulent pas sous les doigts comme les Obligato ? Question projection pour un jeu en acoustique tu en penses quoi ?

@stringmatrix Год назад

Difficile à dire, je crois que je n'ai pas joué de gig acoustique avec ces cordes. Mais je trouve qu'elles "retiennent" moins le son que p.ex. les BSN900. Il y a donc "plus de son" avec les Ouverture. Il manque juste un peu (surtout quand amplifié) de grosses fréquences graves sur E et A, et je me demande si ça pouvait s'améliorer en les rendant plus "sombres" (donc petit changement de construction).

@stringmatrix Год назад

Pour le roulement, non je n'ai pas eu de problème. Il me semble qu'il y avait un petit roulement, mais pas vraiment dérangeant.

@patrickmanet6152 Год назад

@@stringmatrix Merci ! Tentant...

@danielgueli Год назад

Galli please listen to Herve’s advice allot of players including me would be happy endorsers of this perfect stringset !!! I like the sounds but a to thin g cuts in my finger.

@stringmatrix Год назад

Thank you Daniel! Maybe we should create some kind of a lobby organisation to convince the string makers, because I often talk to colleagues who are also looking for the same thing I am looking for...

@DrJohn123 Год назад

+1 for thick(er) G strings!

@FrowinIckler Год назад

Yes, thicker G-strings please!

@MatthewRybicki Год назад

Agreed

@martinspure Год назад

Yes, please. Thicker G strings. I prefer dark strings. A synthetic version of Oliv’s would be a dream come true…

@DrJohn123 Год назад

The strings have a really nice attack. I immediately headed over to your stringmatrix to compare them with the other Galli strings (BSN900) and also with Evah Pirazzi and Obligato. From the sound on your bass, the Ouverture are my favourites and might be worth trying out on my second bass at some time. Can you give some remarks sound- and tension-wise when compared to the Pirazzis Weich (E+A) and Pirazzi Slap (E+A)? Are they the "better" option together with Oliv D+G? I currently play the "John-Patitucci-Combination" which is by far the best hybrid solution I've tried.

@stringmatrix Год назад

Hi Johannes, the combination with the Oliv g/d is quite nice. But, especially when amplified, the e/a ouverture don't sound as fundamental as I would want them to. I wonder if the low frequency would get some emphasis if the Ouverture got some dampening. So I am not sure what to recommend: in some way the combination with Ouverture is better, in some parameters the combination with EP is better.

@stringmatrix Год назад

The tension is maybe a little lower that EP light but not als low as EP slap.

@DaveVergato 2 месяца назад

How do they compare to obbligatos?

@stringmatrix 2 месяца назад

That's a difficult question, so I'll just describe my impression of the two. Also, I must say it's been a long time since I hat Obligato on my bass. Obligato sound huge and bouncy when played at home. But my impression was, that in a band, their sound turns out to be too smooth, so that it doesn't quite cut through and it lacks a deep interesting color. Galli Ouverture also make the bass sound big. I think they have a little more definition in a band. But I missed a little more "fundamental" on the low strings (the obligato don't have this "problem"). And I prefer the thickness of obligato d and g.

@50CJAZZ 8 месяцев назад

They sound similar to the new Heritage strings. The have a little more air and fizz pizz.

@stringmatrix 7 месяцев назад

Oh yes? I don't know anything about heritage strings, I would love to try them, especially if they are similar to the set in the video but darker.

@50CJAZZ 7 месяцев назад

@@stringmatrixThey are made for the Kolstein shop here in New York not to be confused with the Varicor set they have. The Heritage set was discontinued for about 2 years and recently they were reintroduced. I played them here to my cell phone: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q7H9NhHuxhw.htmlsi=Qbw4ftYcbybt2KPj
