Pros: My favourite range of strings. Especially the E, which has a much thicker timbre than Dominant(which I found can be very 'brittle' or thin in sound, and also the windings seem to break much quicker. The A string keeps also keeps it's brighter sound, and lasts, way longer than Dominant.
Cons: n/a

A better value 'Russian A'

Pros: Reliable and very stable string that readily speaks clearly. Blends well with numerous steel Es. I find the light steel A balances well with medium synthetic D and G.
Cons: It doesn't bring bags of complexity but your instrument and choice of other strings may already be sufficient anyway.

Bulletproof Strings
Pros: Fantastic clear and ringing tone from these strings with great projection and a really fast response. I'm in a large community band and my otherwise unassuming Stentor 2 fiddle is much more assertive with these on. I am so impressed with the stability of these strings. We play indoors and outside in all weathers all year round. We also move from freezing outside to hot sweaty pubs and back again. I almost never have to tune these they are so stable. On the winter solstice we played at an outdoor swimming pool by the sea (in December), then in and out of hot shops, in and out of hot pubs, late at night outside, next to a bonfire, then back into hot pubs. I checked the tuning several times and only had to tweak the fine tuners about half a turn a couple of times in eight hours of fiddle abuse. Brilliant! They've been on my fiddle for 11 months and are still ring-y and clear. I will change them at the 1 year mark. . . . .but only because I feel like I should.
Cons: Of course they are not as rich as a synthetic core string, but they are a lot better that plain steels, and the compromise is well worth it for my style of playing for the sheer stability, longevity and projection of them.

D addario helicore 3/4 a string
Pros: These strings are great for children as they keep their pitch very well. The tone is good too. I like it to be able to purchase single strings rather than sets.
Cons: Funnyly we need at least 2 a strings a year, no others, they unravel at some stage.

Titanium or Aluminium
Pros: This is the first time I have tried the Titanium wound 'A' string. I always get through the Aluminium 'A' in only a short time, well before the others, so I thought I'd try the Titanium version. I can not tell the difference in sound or playability verses the Aluminium one and time will tell on its longevity. Lets hope it lasts!
Cons: None
Other: If it lasts I would rate it as 5 star!
Beginner
A good make of string.
Pros: These strings are warm and stay in tune. I bought a full set in Aug 2015 but I caught the A with the frog and damaged it. The replacement settled in quickly.
Cons: None
Other: String zone are quick off the mark with orders and delivery.
