Quality helps improvement.

Pros: Still bedding them in and looking forward to improving my technique with them and will continue to use them.

Cons: None

Other: The strings arrived pretty damned quick and in good order. I will be ordering another set to replace the spare set I already have, which are not as high a quality.

Nice tone but a little strident

Pros: Nice bright tone, even sound, and a smooth string on the finger

Cons: Quite pricey, and if anything, I found the tone to be a little strident.

Grade 8+

Even sound across the range

Pros: A much more even sound across the range compared with previous Jargar strings, but has to be said they were very old as I'm returning to playing after a gap of many years. My luthier put the strings on and adjusted the set up, all of which has made a big difference. Notice much bigger sound especially on G and C.

Cons: The open G doesn't reliably "sound" after several weeks of playing in, particularly when playing chords in Bach suites. But I'm honestly not sure if this is just a) a common problem I don't remember (I was never taught the "left hand pizz" trick by teachers in the 1980s and 1990s); b) that I haven't found the right rosin yet (trying Cecilia solo but not mad about it); c) rusty technique! Also was my Jargar A string maybe sweeter / richer in tone? Honestly not sure.

Other: Very good service on "next day delivery", during the xmas new year period. Ordered on 27th Dec, arrived to Northern Ireland on 31st. Just in time! Thank you.
