3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")

Brilliant service and product
Pros: I have an electric violin and these strings give it the response and clarity of sound that I need when playing.
Cons: None
Other: I was very impressed with how quickly and efficiently I received my strings from thestringzone.com. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Excellent strings superior to Dominant
Pros: mellow soft strings
Cons: I have ordered 2 sets of these for different violins & the E string on both occasions snapped near the peg while fine tuning .
Other: If I hadn't had to wait 5 or 6 days for replacement of faulty E strings I would have given 5 out of 5 rating however I have given 4 out of 5
