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!

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 .
