Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off well worth the expense, except for the platinum E
Pros: They speak very rapidly - better than Vision or Dominants. Tone is bright but has depth, warmth and variety as well as power. Longer lasting than many competitors.
Cons: The very expensive platinum E string does not suit my violin - powerful but with metallic overtones and frequent squeaks replacing open strings.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-on A great improvement.
Pros: I am a maker. This is the first time I have fitted Peter Infeld strings to a violin. My customer is a professional player and teacher with a beautiful old Italian violin. She says that it has made a substantial improvement to her sound. She immediately ordered a spare set !
Cons: Price ?
Other: None

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off perfect,they should maintain their quality longer
Pros: I like beautiful bright, clear, almost solo sound on the strings of Peter Infeld. I think they are very good quality in globale.
Cons: I waited for their resistance will be longer. After about a month and a half E string lost its sound quality. Also tuning of the E string is not already perfect. Nevertheless, I am with Peter Infeld strings happy, a pity that their price is not lower.
Other: May be the reason why I have to change my strings so often is I practice a lot...

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-offSmall-star-off Nice, warm strings, pity about the E
Pros: Nice warm sound, very soft on the fingers. Held their tune well from the beginning.
Cons: The E string is a bit scratchy and has a wolf note on the 4th (B) which I haven't had with other strings.
Other: These are nice strings, but I'd suggest using them along with a Kaplan Gold E string instead of the E which the set comes with.
