This E string consists of a new material that improves significantly the playability and the sound of E strings. The Wondertone Solo E has an outstanding sound volume and impressive power. Very often there is a metallic edge in other plain steel E string's sound. In contrast, the Wondertone Solo E has a wonderful warm sound when playing pianissimo and is impressive brilliant in the higher registers. The string has a very fast response over the whole dynamic range and is also non-whistling.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-on Excellent accompanying other sets.
Pros: This string has a bright sweet sound and is excellent on the higher registers; which I always disliked playing because I thought I sounded rather wispy. It works well accompanying other sets.
Cons: Singularly the string is excellent however if you wish to buy the set, it's rather expensive.

Small-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-onSmall-star-off A good string in need of further development.
Pros: A good string that responds well in all dynamics with a powerful but beautiful sound. Settles in quickly.
Cons: When used with Thomastik Titanium Orchestra strings I would question the non-whistling credit given to this string. The surface of the string could be more refined for ease of use.
