It is very difficult to recommend a string for any violin....there are so many variables in play. I know Warchal very well, but for MY instrument, it just doesn't work. I know a number of pro's that like it. My instrument likes Peter Infield stings..and when I play Bach I like the sound/feel/texture of Eudoxa....although they require constant tuning (at my concerts, people actually prefer the tuning reprise). Each instrument has its own personality, and different strings bring out the mood/temperament/joviality/melancholy/color/etc. of the instrument. Depending on the pressure/speed of the bow/temp of room/humidity/etc. the rosin may contribute positively or not .... I like Andrea...but that's me. On another thought. Anna Akiko Meyers has changed to a del Gesus on her last recordings. Her Bach Album "Air" is played with her former violin. Perhaps you can hear a difference between the 2 violins....with the same performer playing the different instruments. I recommend all her efforts...she's a wonderful violinist (and a wonderful lady) She teaches at Julliard.... To really hear the differences between instruments you have to hear it in person....
