Excellent value

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

Fantastic product and service. Thank you.

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!

As far as I can tell, they're good.

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.

Impressed with sound and price

Pros: Beautiful sound. A real improvement to the factory strings and I will be putting another set on my new intermediate violin once I've played it in. A very cheap way to improve a beginner violin and I think it will enhance a better quality violin.

Cons: None

Other: I am very impressed with these strings. They make a beginner level violin sound really good.
