a troublesome G string (pun intended)
5 out of 6 found the following review helpful

Pros: Very Bright sound and comfortable to play. The break-in time is also quick which is helpful for those who play regular sessions and concerts. Excellent price, you're really getting value for money here.

Cons: I was very disappointed with the Low G string provided..it's tension wasn't up to the same standard as the others and it left an unbalanced sound..This is something that I am very particular about as I have a preference towards tunes that keep on the lower register. I replaced the G with a string from a set of Helicore Medium tension strings by D'addario which settled nicely even though it's a different set which I try and recommend not to do.

Other: The String Zone is an excellent service and I intend to keep using it. Delivery time was very quick and Postage was very cheap..it's the best website I have used for strings and the customer service is quality.

Perfectly good for what was needed.

Pros: Bought for my Grade 1 level daughter as I've always liked Pirastro strings for my Viola. Perfect for her (pretty rubbish) little violin, make a much more reasonable sound than the random strings it came with.

Cons: None
