Pirastro Tonica Violin Strings, SET

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: I tried these as a lower cost alternative to using Dominants. But unfortunately they are not for me. The sound is dull and significantly inferior to Dominants.

Pros: Super value and they suit one of my fiddles that is a bit fussy about what strings it will tolerate. An excellent alternative to some of the more expensive strings, without compromising on tone or quality. not yet sure of their durability but seem fine after a month or so. Recommended if you want a quality sound without breaking the bank.

Cons: They do take a bit longer than average to settle in as they stretch over the first few days but not likely to be a problem for most.

Pros: I really like Pirastro strings and fitted these to a student's violin to replace really poor quality steel strings. The difference in tone quality was remarkable especially when using Pirastro Tonica rosin. The price is good and they can easily improve an entry level violin.

Cons: None

Pros: Great tone. Bright in a good way but with the woody sound we all love. Settle in pretty quick. Very long lasting. No squeaking on the E string. Minimal paper packaging. Funky red and white at the ball end and colour coded at the other. Great price for a synthetic.

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Other: The string zone do free delivery and my order arrived before I had blinked. A fully satisfied customer here!

Pros: Nice sound. Great Value.

Cons: None

Other: Haven't been playing long enough or tried enough sets of strings to give an educated opinion, but they sound a lot better than the factory strings on my Stentor cony.
