Description

Zyex Composite synthetic core strings produce an extremely warm, rich sound.

Zyex is a new generation of synthetic material, creating strings that are extremely stable under drastic climatic conditions. Zyex strings settle in on the instrument very fast, within a matter of hours.

Zyex has a warmer sound than most other synthetic core strings, and they have excellent projection, making them exceptional for soloist use as well as symphonic and for calming down the tone of very bright instruments.

  • E- plain steel
  • A-aluminium on synthetic core

A nice versatile set of strings.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: I find them to be more suited to my violin than the pirazzi that I had previously fitted. The medium tension allows more distortion in sound when playing slow airs or laments.

Cons: Taking a little longer to 'settle down' on the instrument. They are still stretching.

Vast improvement upgrading to Zyex strings!

Pros: Compared to the supplied string set, Zyex provided an immediate big improvemnt to tonal quality of an anyway new violin. The pitched up well and pretty much stayed in tune, minmal retuning. The E was very good too. The projection has improved the violins volume whilst giving much better richness of sound from each string. String changing, subject to the everso slightly narrower distance between E & A and G & D (more noticeable for me on the E to A, is much smoother too. So far very happy with these Zyex strings upgrade as opposed to the normal Dominant strings, the decision to change is a good one.

Cons: No cons that apply to me and my expectations

Load Resonance

Pros: Lot of sound with a very light touch

Cons: Too much resinance within my particular fiddle, the notes hung on too long and could not seperate it came accross as a flat humm.

Other: I have taken them off and gone back to a new set of Obligato where I am in control of the sound.
