*****5 stars!!!*****

Pros: G, D and A are warm, so are good for orchestral playing. E is bright. Not a lot of stretching was required when I first fitted the strings, and they settled quickly.

Cons: Found it hard to fit the ball end of the G string into the tailpiece.

Professional

A very good set of violin strings.

Pros: Warm and powerful tone, and very responsive to off-the-string bowing too.

Cons: Nothing to dislike, apart from the fact that they are quite expensive. There are cheaper equivalents, but these definitely have the edge.

Other: Worth checking out if you haven't tried them before.

Great strings, smooth feel, look decent.

Pros: Great feel, smooth, great sound. Makes my cheap violin sound just that more expensive :) Great for fast or slow songs and good sound when up in 3rd or 4th position

Cons: the E does whistle a few times

Other: Chanaged from dominants to these and very happy.. at first i didn't notice much difference, but after about 1 hour of constent playing and retuning (as the strings started to settle by 1 hour) the sound improved
