Description

Aluminium wound on steel. Ball or loop end. Available in medium and strong (high tension) gauge.

Wound strings offer a full and brilliant sound with easy response. Thicker than plain strings they easier under the fingers. They cost more than plain strings but may be easier for non professional players to produce an even sound without unwanted undertones.

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.

Smooth tone after playing in

Pros: Has taken some of the bright edge off the top string on my favourite fiddle. Good smooth tone.

Cons: Took a bit of playing in before it really started to sing - maybe eight hours playing. Initially the 'sweet spot' seemed a bit nearer the bridge than I am used to, but that has evened out with further playing.

Other: Worth the extra money, I think. I play folk music. The fiddle in question is the one in my collection I play the most but its top string had always been a little brighter than I wanted. I didn't realize it was possible to get wound E strings until recently - I am now a convert!

Rich, velvety tone

Pros: It gives a rich velvety tone to my sound compared to the Evah Pirazzi (Pirastro).

Cons: The loop end snapped on the one I bought just before this and I had to get this as a replacement.
