* All strings are ball end, unless otherwise specified.
'New Formula' quality student string similar to Dominant with the benefit of a silver D. Medium tension, ball end only. For loop end E please order each string separately.
To check your instrument size measure the length of the back (LOB) excluding the 'button' which is the thumb shaped extension at the top where the neck is anchored. Old instruments can vary, if more than 1/2" over choose the next size up.
4/4 - LOB 356mm (14")
3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")
1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")
1/4 - LOB 280mm (11")
1/8 - LOB 254mm (10")

Pros: Very good quality strings for the price, sits "in the middle" under every aspect and is just right - brightness, tension and volume. They are better than Dominant for me - both for tone - open, rich and "silvery" - and tension (slighlty higher than Dominant). I'd say it probably suits lots of different instruments. For sure it suits mine (a modern Guarnieri model).
Cons: Quite long settling period (kept re-tuning for 3 days, especially the A string)

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other: My experience is that these strings neither feel nor sound as good as their rival: Dominant. Maybe it's the violin and maybe it's my ear, but I'm definitely going back to Dominant.

Pros: I am very happy with these strings. I have used only G, and E strings so far and I am very pleased with their quality. The sound is very pleasant and warm. It looks like they will serve for a good while. And the price is great too...
Cons: Can't think of any.
Other: These are my first strings I have ever bought after the strings that came with my violin started to brake. I will be happy to buy it again in the future :-)

Pros: This is a very nice set of strings at a very reasonable price, bought for an old 3/4 violin. They feel silky under the fingers.
Cons: They have taken a little while to settle in but I'm not sure how much practice my pupil does.
Other: Arrival of the set of strings came very quickly.

Pros: These strings improved the sound quality dramatically of my rather cheap, old and battered violin. I would certainly recommend this set to others I and intend to use these strings again next time.
Cons: The full price, (without special offers etc), is rather high for my limited funds, - but you do get what you pay for.
Other: Very good, quick, accurate service from thestringzone.

Excellent strings at a nice price
Pros: Super value and they suit one of my fiddles that is a bit fussy about what strings it will tolerate. An excellent alternative to some of the more expensive strings, without compromising on tone or quality. not yet sure of their durability but seem fine after a month or so. Recommended if you want a quality sound without breaking the bank.
Cons: They do take a bit longer than average to settle in as they stretch over the first few days but not likely to be a problem for most.
