Good sounding strings - gold E fragile
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: The sound is great!

Cons: The gold E string broke as soon as I had tuned it up - have changed to steel, which is fine.

Grade 8+

Wonderful sound and lovely strings to play

Pros: Absolutely lovely sound - delighted with the strings.

Cons: The D string stopped vibrating as it should after a few weeks. I persevered with it as another string seemed a little expensive an item straight away. I did send it back but was told that there was nothing wrong with it - but the question remains - why did it not play as well as the other three?

Other: I obviously like the strings enough to order another set but would have liked the problem with the D string to have been resolved.

Very very happy
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: At last some strings I am really happy with! They have settled in quickly, the tone is bright enough but not too harsh with a good volume and resonance. I love the E. Definitely worth the extra money.

Cons: I can't think of any.
