Description

The Advanced Steel E string consists of a new material that improves significantly the playability and the sound of E strings. The Wondertone Solo E has an outstanding sound volume and impressive power. The string has a very fast response over the whole dynamic range and is also non-whistling.

Using a loop end E? The use of a protector to prevent the tuner hook breaking the string is essential with loop end E strings. We cannot accept claims for strings broken by the adjuster hook. Click here to purchase this item.

Gone with the squeak
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Bought to replace squeaking gold plated Obligato E. Squeaks are gone and the tone is excellent; powerful and positive. Very responsive too.

Cons: Nothing.

Other: Usual excellent service from the String Zone

Less trouble than Evahs, more than Dominants
1 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Much less whistly than the Evah Pirazzi that I took off, it just didn't agree with my violin. Definitely a good tone when I can calm the whistles, strong but not squeaky

Cons: Still whistles more than Dominants It's an odd colour, almost black, it makes my violin look a bit lopsided with 3 silver coloured strings on it and this grey-black E, it looks like my E string is missing!

Best so far.

Pros: Nice clear sound, not too shrill, speaks easily. Nearest thing to a non-whistling pure steel string I've found, having previously relied on wound specialist non-whistlers.

Cons: Not quite as non- whistling as D'Addario

Harsher but keeps its pitch.

Pros: I have used Eudoxa for more than 60 years but have found that they have lost their pitch (not the E, but the other strings) over the last 15-20 years. Obligato holds its pitch properly.

Cons: The tone is harsher than Eudoxa, and cracks a little more.

Best E I played.

Pros: Loud. Nice tone. No squeeks.

Great service, good price, quality product.

Pros: Very nice sounding string, no whistling in any part of the register. Good feel for my finders and will certainly buy another when that time comes.

Cons: None

Keen Amateur

Sweet and long lasting

Pros: Tried a lot of different E's, the cheaper ones lost their edge fairly quickly. I've had a Wondertone that was still good/sweet after over a year of playing. I practice at least 10 hours a week.

Cons: None

Other: Other strings are Infeld Red's

Cons: None
