These Istanbul Agop Orchestrals are a serious step up for anyone needing that refined, blended orchestral sound. They're beautifully crafted and project really well, but their character is definitely geared towards classical and concert settings – not your go-to for rock or pop. If you're a principal player or in a professional orchestra, these are worth a serious look.
