Helen Weedon 21/01/2011 16:43 Stockport, United Kingdom Keen Amateur	8 out of 8 found the following review helpful Harmonious music making Pros: They bring out the best in both my violins, producing a nice woody sound with plenty of over and undertones. The sound is slightly fuzzy and less bright and piercing compared with Dominant strings and I like that. Cons: They don't like changes in room temperature and weather conditions so cause plenty of peg twiddling between movements! Quite expensive and not the most durable strings. Other: I've tried a number of strings on my two regularly played violins over the years and always come back to Eudoxa despite the cost and their quirks. Both instruments have quite different voices and strengths/weaknesses but Eudoxa strings bring out the best in both, and in one, helps control its rather loud output by broadening the sound while toning down the volume a little.

Angela 24/04/2012 20:27 London, United Kingdom Teacher	Though quite costly,they are well worth the cost. Pros: These strings produce a lovely warm tone. I like them for both classical and folk. Cons: Best to put a set on a good week before a performance as these strings take a while to stretch and settle in. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No
Phil 05/03/2012 13:06 Sowerby Bridge, United Kingdom Keen Amateur	If you're used to gut strings give these a miss Pros: The strings have the smooth feel of a metal string but that's about it. Cons: These are not good strings; they're not stable, the note sometimes splits when playing strongly (particularly D and A), and they just don't stay at pitch at all. Other: I was hoping for a more durable string than plain gut, one that didn't fray and would blend better in modern settings, but unfortunately these are hopeless. I've gone back to Aquila strings, which stay at pitch better and are great to play on. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No
Michael 03/03/2012 10:15 NEWTON ABBOT, United Kingdom Beginner	Good - but not right for me.. Pros: Tone is good, though not the best match for my violin. Cons: The don't stay in tune even when played-in Other: For me, on my violin, Thomastik Infeld Reds have proven to be a better option - excellent tone and very stable tuning.

Sandy 14/10/2011 18:54 Freshwater, United Kingdom Keen Amateur	Super strings with mortality problems. Pros: Came very promptly. Warm, full sound, and very comfy under the hand. No hint iof stridency. Cons: As has always been the case strings can go in a very short space of time. On one occasion three strings went within two months, and there was no hint of apology or replacement. But I still buy them! Did you find this review helpful? Yes No
