A great value string set with warm and even tone.

Pros: The tone is warm and consistent. Changed strings from Prelude as the A string had an unpleasant resonance and the strings were a little harsh on the ear- good volume though. The Tonica set are still being worn in but I feel that they will enable me to develop in my playing. They seem to stay in tune well and are easy on the fingers.

Cons: Nothing as yet. Nothing that stands out as a negative as yet.

Other: Very good value strings.

Bristol, United Kingdom

Beginner

Pure, accurate and very pleasing

Pros: When I first put these strings on I didn’t like them much - they seemed quite uninteresting and lacking in warmth. But once they’d settled in after a few days, the strings delivered a remarkably pure sound with a delightful warmth. Accuracy of tone is excellent - the sound is free from the random overtones that can make some strings difficult to get in tune. They’re also pleasantly light under the fingers. Very enjoyable to play..
