Thanks for asking, Brian
I like them. For some reason, it's easiest for me to describe tone and timbre as color: the Permanents have more bright blue in them. They are pretty responsive to the bow, and are definitely louder than the Heliocores were (which had more reddish/lavender tone to them).
The sound is not as "rounded out" as I eventually want it to be, but they will easily do for a while . . . maybe I'll try something else next year.
I'm planning to put some new recordings up early this summer, I'll let you know when I do.
