Lovey strings but very low volume
2 out of 2 found the following review helpful

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

Very Good Strings, Great Price.
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

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

Incompatabilty issues

Pros: Unable to comment (see below)

Cons: The strings don't appear to be compatible with my violin

Other: The strings resulted in stuttering tones on the D and A strings. Not sure why - no problems with Tonica strings.

Try these soon.

Pros: Very easy to play, very good tone - even the single wire E-string blended in well with the others and didn't whistle. They are good value for money

Cons: I wish that I had tried these earlier!

Other: Well worth trying.

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
