'New Formula' quality student string similar to Dominant with the benefit of a silver D. Medium tension, ball end only. For loop end E please order each string separately.
To check your instrument size measure the length of the back (LOB) excluding the 'button' which is the thumb shaped extension at the top where the neck is anchored. Old instruments can vary, if more than 1/2" over choose the next size up.
4/4 - LOB 356mm (14")
3/4 - LOB 330mm (13")
1/2 - LOB 305mm (12")
1/4 - LOB 280mm (11")
1/8 - LOB 254mm (10")

Pros: None
Cons: None
Other: My experience is that these strings neither feel nor sound as good as their rival: Dominant. Maybe it's the violin and maybe it's my ear, but I'm definitely going back to Dominant.

Pros: I like these strings, they settle in quickly and have a powerful tone. They're a touch less sweet toned than Dominants and are also thinner under the fingers
Cons: It is a gut reaction (pardon the pun) but I don't think they will last as long as a set of Dominants, but I could be proved wrong
