Old time and folk E string

Pros: Slightly thicker feel than my usual E string, or felt it at least, which was good. Seemed more focused and louder.

Cons: It does squeak more! Mainly when crossing over strings so my technique not really the string, but otherwise good.

Other: Super quick delivery and well packaged and a decent product for the price.

Superb inexpensive string

Pros: Wonderful! didn't realise til I took it off that the plating had worn off the old string. the Hill E sounds great, not shrill or shrieky and blends with the other strings. ordered another straight away to keep as spare.

Cons: Binding round lower end of string unravelled and went bitty due to the fine tuner - have changed the fine tuner and no problem

Other: fantastic inexpensive string - will always use from now on
