No other 'E' string works for me.
Pros: The only 'E' string which doesn't set up a high pitched whistling frequency on being approached in a legato slur from the 'A' string.
Cons: The lack of a proper loop end option.
Other: The packet and serial number is not easily differentiated from the ordinary 'E' string. They are so similar that two retailers have recently supplied me with the incorrect ones.

found the following review helpful
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.
