Pros: I have been using SF now for well over 50 years, i find their gauge perfect for speed, strings of a heavier gauge are clumsy in comparison, furthermore no other metal string produces the volume or the tone that SF do. And the price is affordable.
Cons: I have not yet found anything to complain of.

Very resonant strings. Highly recommended.

Pros: Very underrated strings. Extremely resonant and fail safe, never broken one in 15 years and next to no play in time. Do not suit very bright violins though.
Cons: Do not suit very bright sounding violins.

Pros: Terrific sound across range but I've just had a new bridge fitted so not sure if this vast improvement in sound level and quality is entirely due to strings, but I will buy them again. They settled down quickly and stay in tune. No whistling on the E string either and I have lost the weak D on the A- have I improved that much???
Cons: G string ball took a bit of fitting into adjuster as the covering was a bit thick - it's OK now.
Other: Excellent service from the stringzone - they arrived the next day. Please start selling mandolin strings.

prefer Spirocore for mellower sound

Pros: stay in tune well.
Cons: Just got another set after seeing my review of last lot. It turns out that my last set were actually Spirocore which are great. I find this set of strings a bit shrill on my fiddle, wheras the spirocore have a much more mellow sound which I prefer. I can't wait to replace the strings.

Good value to suit folk music.
Pros: I play mostly folk music. I put a set of these on a fiddle I had restored and to my annoyance the instrument sounded better than a much more expensive violin. I have now put the same strings on the expensive violin which now also sounds a lot fresher. I have been warned that they might not last as long but they are light and responsive.
Cons: None

Big Sound.
Pros: The first thing i noticed changing from Dominants to Superflexible was an increase in volume on my fiddle,it took around two weeks before they lost the metallic sound and now are sounding very similar to the Dominants but with more punch.Would recommend these strings to anyone who's fiddle needs a bit more volume.
Cons: The E string a bit harsh on my fiddle.
Other: 5 star on my fiddle.
