Warm tone, easy to play.

Pros: Warm tone, easy to play. Definitely my current favourites. I prefer these to Dominant strings on my fiddle.

Cons: Take quite a time to settle down - took a couple of weeks before they'd stay in tune properly. Perhaps they don't have quite enough 'bite'.

Good , but could be better
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: None

Cons: None

Other: My experience is that these strings neither feel nor sound as good as their rival: Dominant. Maybe it's the violin and maybe it's my ear, but I'm definitely going back to Dominant.
