Pros: Sounds fine, lasts well, does not whistle on open string.
Cons: I tried an Evah which sounded better still on stopped notes when new, but it whistled like mad, so I quickly went back to the Kaplan. No regrets.

Smooth crossing
Pros: I always use this string as it is very good for crossing on to an open E which is usually the way in the playing of traditional 2/4 'pipe Marches.
Cons: Sometimes I have spent more time changing strings due to the adapter but it's worth it.

Excellent E string
Pros: I was a bit sceptical but this string really works. It does not whistle and I like the feel under the fingers. It is really strong at the top of the instrument which is great
Cons: Would have liked a loop end instead of a ball end with adaptor which is the only reason it gets just four stars
Beginner
Great, does it's job!
Pros: I really like it. Does it's job, doesn't whistle and I would never use anything else.
Cons: The tone isn't amazing but certainly better than getting an Evah or something that gives off that horrendous high squeak!
Other: Would completely recommend.
Beginner
Good and not so good, depending on violin
Pros: It is certainly good and does not whistle, like all other E strings I've tried which do.
Cons: On one instrument it sounded pretty bad but on my Italian fiddle it sounds quite good.
Other: I previously said it was a lousy sounding string, as other people have confirmed, but it depends highly on the instrument, sounding good on some and bad on others.
