Brilliant non whistling E string.
2 out of 3 found the following review helpful

Pros: Does what it says on the tin; it really doesn't whistle! Which is great as previous E strings wouldn't stop squeaking (nothing to do with me, i promise). Doesn't tend to slip out of tune after you fit it. I wouldn't fit my current violin with any other E string!

Cons: Feels a little rough under the fingers when it's new, but it smooths up quickly with use. Also very loud when new although this may not be a bad thing!

My favourite E string - folk fiddle

Pros: This is by far the best E-string I have used so will always have a spare on hand. I can genuinely say it does not whistle, but more than that, the wound nature of the string means you get a much more even tone especially when you are playing across the A and E string a lot - such as in traditional and folk music. I also sometimes find I lose volume on E string playing when playing with my group but this string hold up really well.

Cons: Nothing - it's worth the higher price and seems to be lasting well.
