Pros: Good price and quite nice strings. Quick response and lively bright sound. Nice even tension, tone and volume across the four strings. I particularly like the clear tone of the G & D strings that allows double stopping to remain clear. The E also has a nice tone.
Cons: The A string could be a tiny bit less strident particularly when played open. The strings with the exception of the E haven't quite settled after 3 weeks.
Other: I have almost always always used Dominants which I will probably return to. I had the Evah Pirazzi on previously which never stayed in tune and tonally didn't suit my fiddle. Tonica strings haven't made anything other than a rubbish fiddle player!!

Pros: Lovely tone, very competetively priced. Very impressed with speedy delivery too - thank you.
Cons: Nothing really
Other: I prefer to fine tune with adjusters rather than pegs. G D A too thick to use with adjusters I had ...but not a problem as they've held tuning well.

Pros: This is a very nice set of strings at a very reasonable price, bought for an old 3/4 violin. They feel silky under the fingers.
Cons: They have taken a little while to settle in but I'm not sure how much practice my pupil does.
Other: Arrival of the set of strings came very quickly.

Excellent strings at a nice price
Pros: Super value and they suit one of my fiddles that is a bit fussy about what strings it will tolerate. An excellent alternative to some of the more expensive strings, without compromising on tone or quality. not yet sure of their durability but seem fine after a month or so. Recommended if you want a quality sound without breaking the bank.
Cons: They do take a bit longer than average to settle in as they stretch over the first few days but not likely to be a problem for most.
