Pros: Bought these as I wanted to try out strings that were more 'gut like'. I love how they sound, dark and rich, and how much I can dig in while playing then.
Cons: Too quiet to be of any use gigging in noisy bars
Other: I have them on my house fiddle, I think they'd make a good string for anyone wanting to explore a range of sounds such as harmonics, difference tones, sympathetic resonances, click technique, alternate tunings etc without being too loud

Pros: The Violino strings took the excessive brightness off my violin, which was the reason I tried them, so "did exactly what it said on the tin"
Cons: They took a little while to stabilise in terms of holding their pitch, which is why I didn't go for five stars - four and a half is probably about right.

Durable fair sounding strings
Pros: They are fairly good sturdy strings under normal conditions; certain resistan e totemperature and humidity changes. But like any other strings, and instruments, where extractors, air con and the like are causing heay vibrations through the building structure, there is no remedy for changes in pitch whatever you try to do. That it is not the fault of the strings, nor instrument, though. Same can be said for pitch changes in the presence of electronica - strong wifi, or GPS, forward radar (i.e. if you are working in spaces with little against what goes on outside). Basically, no string is immune to ANY of those factores. :(
Cons: -
Other: Fantastically and unexpectedly fast delivery service over New Year Period (UK delivery). Many thanks

Soft, warm tone
Pros: This is the second set I've bought for another violin in my collection. I've tried most strings on different violins such as Pirazzi and Obligato but Violino is rapidly becoming my favourite. I particularly like the lower tension and on bright violins they give a soft, warm tone.
Cons: None
