A very good E string. Especially it is so cheap!

Pros: It settles on my violin instantly. The sounds is sweet and quite mellow. However, it delivers good amount of power. It is slightly quieter than my Larsen Tzigane G,D and A. I have previously tried Virtuoso E, Il Cannons E and Pirastro Wondertone E. The high register speaks very clearly and very easy to play. The tension is just right for my violin . I have struggled with playing the opening of Symphonie Espanole top E securely. I can now nail the top note everytime. I am very please with it as I can blame the equipment for once.

Cons: It is not a soloist E in my opinion . I don't think it can cut through a full orchestra like the Evah Pirazzi Gold E or Il Cannon E. I think it is a good choice for chamber music.

Other: I can now play the top E with ease and confident. :)
