Pros: The most affordable seller of my favourite folk fiddle strings - found anywhere! No need to trek on trains to the nearest violin specialist store anymore, when I can get my favourite strings delivered straight to my door... The volume, crisp attack and stability of tuning of these Thomastik precision steel strings to me, have always been perfect for almost any folk music genre - when volume, drones, rapid trills and ornamentations are the distinctive features - in contrast to a classically trained vibrato, best executed on either gut or synthetic gut strings for the standard classical repertoire.

Pros: I first came across Präzisions on a new fine violin I bought and I loved them. They will reflect the quality of the wood of your violin amazingly yet keep a really good clear tone. Maybe not for you if you want to create a lot of expression and like the tonal variations you can get out of gut or nylon core strings. The luthier who sold me the violin said that he only uses these for recording, and also mentioned they are a favourite style of string for Russian violinists! So I bought these light tension ones as en experiment, not for this fine violin but a very old 1860 French violin (nothing special but a favourite instrument) as it has a very sweet tone that was getting lost with some of the posher synthetic core strings. I am not disappointed. They bed in very quickly, almost instantly and have a lot of versatility for vibrato and folk-style ornaments. You might not like the G and D if you want power but it is great for parlour playing in small groups and if you want the beauty of the wood of your instrument to come through. Such good value too! Best steel strings I've tried - I used to use Prims but have converted to these now, much smoother.
Cons: None

Generally reasonable strings for the price.

Pros: I've had two sets of these strings. The first seemed virtually indestructible and lasted a long time. Quite lively and good volume.
Cons: The D string on the second set snapped after a month while playing. I don't have a particularly heavy style and in many years of playing have only ever before broken one string whilst playing.
Other: These are OK but will try something else next time.

Pros: great strings - i was reluctant to get metal strings as i thought they would sound too acute, too "heavy metal" in tone. completely the opposite - my violin sounds much more mellow, much more integrated with these strings from thomastik.
Cons: nothing i can think of
Other: don't know how you - stringzone - did it but the strings arrived in two days. this is italy!?!?
