found the following review helpful
Pros: Good sound, settled in quickly. Bought to restring my violin to give to my granddaughter. The pirastro gold A & D were breaking too often for her to deal with.
Cons: The ball ends were too thick to use with the adjusters. There were no indications that there might be different thicknesses so I have to buy another set, probably from a shop where I can try them. The adjusters are new, perhaps I will change them instead!
Other: I haven't bought new strings for a long time so was pleasantly surprised at your price.

GREAT SERVICE AND QUALITY
Pros: Excellent service in all respects, I will definitely use this site again.
Cons: No cons for service or quality of product
Other: Not really knowing what I needed for my son's violin, I relied on customer reviews to make my choice. His violin teacher was very pleased with the quality and thought I had paid more than I had for the set.

Supple, sweet and mellow
Pros: Felt supple and bouncy under my fingers, and wider than the old ones so didn't cut in so much. The strings bring a sweet, mellow sound out of the violin: the instant change was like getting a significant fiddle upgrade at an extremely reasonable price (ok I liked the discount as well)!
Cons: No cons, but at my level (re-starting playing the violin after twenty years away, got to about grade 6 previously) I wouldn't expect to notice cons.
Other: The previous strings were the very basic metal ones that the violin came with, which cut into my fingers and sounded scratchy even after I'd started to recover my technique. These feel and sound like something from a different and much nicer universe. They're stretching a bit as they settle down but I gather that's normal.
