Good and not so good, depending on violin

Pros: It is certainly good and does not whistle, like all other E strings I've tried which do.

Cons: On one instrument it sounded pretty bad but on my Italian fiddle it sounds quite good.

Other: I previously said it was a lousy sounding string, as other people have confirmed, but it depends highly on the instrument, sounding good on some and bad on others.

Stops the nuisance of the whistling E string!

Pros: Does the job and has a great sound!

Cons: No negatives!

Other: Tried a number of strings to solve whistling E on daughter's violin, this one is the only one that makes any difference - not a whistle to be heard!

Kaplan A string
0 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: It does what it says on the tin but a little scratchy at times . I've had two of these none whistling e strings the first snapped at the ball , I'm not sure I fitted the ball properly but the sound from that first string was stronger than the first . I've no idea why that would be but there we are .

Cons: Slightly scratchy at times .

Other: A good string over all and plan to also replace my whistling A string with a kaplan string .
