Very distinctive strings
Pros: I got the strings hoping for a darker quieter sound. They really do sound quieter and the tone is very pretty and colourful when played with a specific bow. The distinctive characteristic of the bow is that it has less hair than others.
Cons: When played with my usual bow, the strings sound screechy and hairy.
Other: I have rated these as 3 because the strings are described as lower tension, but when I received them during the heat of July 2018, they went on so tight that I could not tune them up to pitch. When the luthier tried, the bridge fell over. I don't know does this mean they are more vulnerable than other strings to extreme weather conditions.

Expressive but impact on tone limited
Pros: They seem more expressive than the Tonica strings that they replaced.
Cons: None
Other: I thought I'd try these to give more depth to a violin with a very bright, not to say shrill, tone. I'm not sure whether they have done this exactly, although they do seem to give more character.

Information and choice of strings appreciated.
Pros: All strings good tone and stable except aluminium A. Very responsive steel E. Fiddle is Thompson ,1870.
Cons: Just the A string. I fitted this string to a new instrument with the same result. Lack of stability when played.
