Description
Multi stranded steel core strings. Medium tension.
Helicore violin strings are crafted with a multi-stranded steel core, resulting in optimal playability while producing a clear, warm tone. The smaller string diameter provides quick bow response. Premium quality materials combined with skilled workmanship produces strings known for excellent pitch stability and longevity.
Very popular string, particularly suited to electric instruments and those who prefer the bright, quick tone of metal strings.
Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Good warm sounding steel core string
Pros: The strings have a warm tone for a steel core. Quick settling in period. Fast response for fiddle ornamentation
Cons: None really. Tone may not suit all players/ violins
Other: Last around 3-6 months (depending on playing time) before sound becomes dull.

Great sounding strings. Great service.
Pros: They give me the sound and playability I like for my ability and the music I play (intermediate / traditional). I have not tried too many other types but what I have tried didn't work out for me.
Cons: 'A' string prone to wear around the 'b' fingering. I haven't workout why yet but I know this happens with other makes of string for other players

Warm tonal quality & long life: value for money!
Pros: Quick response, soft feel fingering similar to gut, powerful warm tone with good projection & they wear well without loss of sound quality!
Cons: Sound a little edgy for first week!
Other: My favourite fiddle (Scottish 1906) was strung with Helicore strings at the outset, since then I've tried a variety of other more expensive strings & am now back to the Helicore strings which answer to all my demands!!
