Grade 8+

Rich, warm sound.

Pros: The quality of the sound produced is very good, rich and warm; they suit my old violin. Once they have settled down they stay in tune reliably.

Cons: It can take a good couple of weeks before they settle down.

Other: Good service, as always, from StringZone. I like being able to order over the phone.

great!

Pros: All of these strings ring quite responsively. I like the fact that these (particularly the A string) seem to be thinner than other brands, enabling a crisper note to be achieved. Very happy/ confident playing this brand. Can certainly recommend them.

Cons: very little!!

Belper, United Kingdom

Perfect for my violin

Pros: I love them. My violin is 2 years old and has a bright sound. With these strings the sound is more mellow. I also like the tension- they are very comfortable to play. The gold e string gives a beautiful clear sound but not harsh. I 'll be sticking to these strings on future for this violin

Cons: Nothing

Other: Prompt delivery
