My fiddle’s never sounded so good.
Pros: Lovely rich sound. Very forgiving-they seem to facilitate “clean” starts and finishes to bow strokes better than any other (many) strings I’ve used. Definitely worth the extra money over slightly cheaper strings,in my opinion. Good longevity in them- windings still intact when sound starts to deteriorate ( 1-2 months of very heavy daily use).
Cons: Not really a con as it’s to be expected but the first 2-4 hours of use give a very disappointing sound. However it is then very satisfying to feel tone grow and grow as you continue to play them in.

Rich, warm sound.
Pros: The quality of the sound produced is very good, rich and warm; they suit my old violin. Once they have settled down they stay in tune reliably.
Cons: It can take a good couple of weeks before they settle down.
Other: Good service, as always, from StringZone. I like being able to order over the phone.

great!
Pros: All of these strings ring quite responsively. I like the fact that these (particularly the A string) seem to be thinner than other brands, enabling a crisper note to be achieved. Very happy/ confident playing this brand. Can certainly recommend them.
Cons: very little!!

Super strings!!
Pros: Lovely complex round sound. stay in tune well. The first set of strings I've bought where i like the e string - it fits well with the other strings and isn't harsh or whistly. Very pleased will use these again
Cons: The price, but you get what you pay for

Perfect for my violin
Pros: I love them. My violin is 2 years old and has a bright sound. With these strings the sound is more mellow. I also like the tension- they are very comfortable to play. The gold e string gives a beautiful clear sound but not harsh. I 'll be sticking to these strings on future for this violin
Cons: Nothing
Other: Prompt delivery
