Description

Nylon cored string offering excellent value.

Pro-Arté synthetic core violin strings have a warm, mellow tone. They are less sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, and break in quickly. Pro-Arté strings are manufactured at a lower tension in order to maximize bow response, tonal blend and playability. The perfect choice for players seeking a warm, dark tone

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")

Good tone and response. Need patience re tuning.
8 out of 9 found the following review helpful

Pros: Significantly improved the tone of a relatively cheap 3/4 size student violin

Cons: Took several days and regular playing before the strings would stay tuned as opposed to my experience with all metal strings which are quickly stable

Other: Overall good value making this particular student violin much more satisfying to play.

Surprisingly good strings
4 out of 4 found the following review helpful

Pros: I was pleasantly surpised by these after replacing my 1-year old Dominant set. They have a good response and the warm sound of gut strings (which is why I tried them). The whole set is evenly balanced and they have improved to sound of my student violin, which encourages me to practice more. The E string remained in tune after the first day...

Cons: The G,D & A strings took 8 days to settle down. This isn't a problem for me but it might be if you are planning to play in a concert after a few days.

Other: At least I am now adept at tuning with the pegs, which will be a useful skill to have.

Good price, great sound.

Pros: Nice sound and good quality

Cons: None

Other: I'm only a beginner but I like the way these strings sound. There on the lower end price wise but sound good. They took a couple of days to settle but that s normal

Ok, but
4 out of 13 found the following review helpful

Pros: suit my cheap violin of £25 bargain internet purchase rather well, warming the sound. The E I cant really comment on as the bow is if course v cheap and has no tensile strength, thus bouncing wildly on the down stroke but i have a new bow coming from china, £16, carbon fiber hehe, u gotta lov the chinese, they are changing the whole game! Now, the strings cost more than the violin n case but, i will say, worth it in the long run, taming a cheap instrument (reduced from £55 to 25). Hey, chinese, its time for u to go making violin strings that cost the same as my thomastic infeld electric guitar strings, about 12-15 £. Oh, and they are amazing!

Cons: possible E down stroke bounce but new bow may fix that I expect.

Other: violin strings are too expensive. Im waitin for the chinese to modify this market.
