Cons: None.

Other: This is one of the best Es I've played on!

A Great E String!

Pros: I love these Jargar E strings, I tried the Forte (red packaging) and haven't looked back since. Great tone and a powerful E string. It really sings in the upper registers. hold it tuning very quickly after being on as well! A Great E string!

Cons: I haven't come across on personally yet.

Appropriate strings for the job needed.

Pros: Very quick delivery and excellent price. I was advised to use Jargar strings many years ago [almost 40] by a leading London violin shop as most appropriate for the music I played and still play [Scots fiddle music and Scottish dance band work]. I have used them ever since.

Cons: Nothing

Good sound, but breaks miles too easily.

Pros: The sound great; there's no shrill squeak

Cons: The break awful easily! Besides the obvious, I'm also not keen on fiddle strings breaking because of the way it puts a sudden strain on the fiddle. I got very little use out of the last E string in particular, it had only a few hours of playing done.

Other: I'd change to a more durable alternative if it could produce the same sound.

By far my favourite e string

Pros: After trying out numerous e strings this one seems to be the best. Great tone, without the high scratchy tone that we all hate. By far my favourite e string.

Cons: No cons.

Other: Delivery was good and reliable
