Bright, brilliant E string.
Pros:
I love the brightness of the Oliv E. It's very responsive, all the way to the top of the fingerboard.
Cons:
The only problem with the Oliv E is that sometimes when the bow doesn't make good contact with the string (crooked bow) you can encounter a squeek.

Clear, clean and responsive....this is no whistler
Pros:
Violin E strings are so much a matter of taste and what suits the instrument. It's often a case of trial and error until one finds one that has good tone, speaks easily, doesn't whistle easily and is good all the way up the fingerboard. All I can say is that the Olive Gold E does all of that for me. The initial 'attack' of notes up the fingerboard is so good and consistant and tone is in no way 'hard' or brassy. They are powerful when needed and stopped notes on the E match those on the A seamlessly. I like them very much indeed.
Cons:
None....they are simply a joy to play on my violin. You will however need one of those tiny black plastic pieces to cushion the loop end, if using an 'English' ajuster.
Other:
Top price and very much top end of the range for a Violin E and worth it!!
