NB The set 135 with aluminium wound E is the traditional and well known version of these strings. The aluminium winding being a more suitable choice for learners as it is easier to produce a clear sound without whistles or overtones.

A reliable string set for the keen player.
Pros: They tune in easily and after a little playing need very little adjustment. Once 'settled' in they make a good sound. Pleased with the swift, reliable service from The String Zone, who offer these string sets at a slightly cheaper price than other sites - much appreciated.
Cons: Have had only one break on me after just a few weeks, others have lasted for quite a while.
Other: Probably the best choice of strings for me; a beginner, and playing on a budget, not wishing to buy the cheapest ones that really sound tinny and don't last that long.

Excellent strings. Excellent retailer. 5* service
Pros: This was the second set I had purchased from Stringzone. Excellent value for money and really good strings. Speedy delivery.
Cons: None
Other: When I ordered these I had just had to restring my daughter's violin 2 days before her exam and she was then worried about having a spare set in time. I ordered them late on Wednesday evening and they arrived Friday morning

Pros: Reliable tuning, good tone, reasonably priced for the quality they are.
Cons: Always a little metallic-sounding before they're played in - so get practising!
Other: Always my first recommendation to pupils as a balance between quality and price.
