Lovely D for my fiddle, easy and light

Pros: Settled in quickly. Silver-wound so no more black fingers. Nice and light to touch, great for folk fiddling, especially for learners like me.
Cons: Struggled a little with the ball end but that could be my new, not broken-in new fine tuners.
Other: Great match with my Violino A. Perfectly complements the tone of my warm and mellow French workshop fiddle but provides enough brightness for jolly tunes like polkas and hornpipes. Matched also with Pirastro Aricore G and Aricore E but don't like the E string much to play as it's like thin cheese wire. Will go back to Goldbrokat E.

Blends better in tremolos
Pros: Seemed less scratchy than my obligato aluminium wound on my rather brash French violin, without significant loss of power. I had been finding tremolandos and double notes (i.e. 2 bows per quaver) didn't blend. I went for silver wound and a different label of string. Not sure which has made the difference - weight/tension or silver. I got an obbligato silver-wound to try too, but still in the packet.
Cons: None

Nice string on a damaged instrument.
Pros: This string was bought as a test string for my violin, which having been damaged and recently repaired had not been playing well on the D string, producing a 'strangulated' tone playing A and above. The string did improve matters, but I think there is something more to be done to regain the tone as it should be.
Cons: None
Other: I am really unable to assess this string properly as my instrument has an intrinsic problem.
