Non-Whistling indeed

Pros: Good - non whistling indeed! Also because it is a wound string it is a bit more gentle on fingers. Matches my set of D'Addario Zyex lights very well.

Cons: Not found yet.

If troubled by whistles, this is the answer

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.

Unhappy sound

Pros: Not a lot!

Cons: Found this string loud, shrill and strident on my warm rich fiddle - couldn't wait to get it off!

Other: This may work for other violins but definitely didn't suit mine.

It's true - it doesn't whistle!

Pros: It really doesn't whistle! I was previously recommended a Pirastro Wonder E Advanced, but it whistled terribly, so I was very pleased to find that the Kaplan non whistling E does what it says.

Cons: nothing

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
