Polite and Friendly Company

Pros: Lovely customer service, easy site to navigate and prompt postage. Received items very quickly and they were packaged very neatly.

Cons: No any consequences really, boutique new strings I've never played on before so the new sound has thrown me a bit but I'm still learning the violin so that's down to me.

Good value strings for the sound quality.

Pros: Even and mellow tone. More forgiving of bowing flaws than Dominants. Accurate intonation along length of string. Price.

Cons: Take about 10-14 days to settle in as they stretch. Shorter life span than some strings.

Other: Wound E string much preferable to the plain.

Bemused by the general ratings
5 out of 10 found the following review helpful

Pros: Cheap...

Cons: Do not stay tuned from session to session Tinny raucous sound Thin, almost no tactile feedback NOT a Dominant replacement

Other: I bought a set of these on the basis of the reviews here, seemed like they were a keenly priced substitute for Dominants. I have been using Dominants from Grade 1 and I am going back to them for Grade 5 and up. My current violin is just a nice beginner (Hidersine Giovanni), has a nice warm tone when played with Dominants. Sounds like a scratchy vinyl record with Tonicas. First time I have replaced a set of strings before they were even close to extinction but what a relief.
