Pros: These are truly astonishing strings! I have tried for years to find a set of strings to bring out the best in my 2006 Christopher Rowe violin. Evah Pirazzi Green were my favourites for a while and then I recently fitted Thomastik Dominant Pro (on offer) - I found these to be not very responsive and a bit "squeaky". So I took the plunge and treated myself to this set of Thomastik Dynamo strings ... the improvement in tone and response was immediate, and they took less than an hour to settle in. They have remained totally in tune (without any interference on my part!) for a couple of weeks. I cannot believe how great my fiddle now sounds - stronger, truer, richer. If I had been told by someone else how marvellous they are, I would have been a little sceptical; but when I started playing, I was simply blown away - as was my wife, who said she was "over the moon" and could hardly believe the improvement, not only in the sound of the fiddle but in my playing too!
Cons: Absolutely nothing negative ...
Other: They are a bit pricey, but well worth it, at least on my violin. In this case, it's true that you get what you pay for!

Pros: I have a Laura Vigato Violin (2014) and so far I have tried/played on: Dominants, Warchal Amber, Warchal Brilliant Vintage, Evah Pirazzi Gold, Eudoxa, Peter Infeld, Obligatos, Pirastro Perpetual Cadenza, Infeld Blue, Larsen Original, and Dominant Pro. The Dynamo strings are so far 'the best' on my violin! They are powerful yet you can play well softly too, they are very responsive and feel lovely under the fingers, I can create nice mellow tones and powerful soloistic sound too. However choose your E string 'carefully' and experiment with different E strings is my advice (after all thankfully the E strings are affordable enough) as they make a HUGE difference to what your violin will sound like and what the strings will sound and behave like!!! The Dynamo E is quite a good complement to the set, however it was to me a little less 'brilliant/clear and powerful' than the A/D/G especially when going higher than 4th position. I tried an Oliv Gold E and this made it WORSE, the E string itself was rather nice but the A string went very 'nasal' and dull compared to the other strings!!! I changed to a Pirastro Gold E (Gold as in the gold from the set not gold plated) medium tension and WOW WOW WOW WOW, this string 'truly' complements well the Dynamo set! Now ALL THE STRINGS are balanced, the violin went even more powerful (I may have to wear earplugs LOL), yet not at the expense of being able to produce also a lower and more 'sweet' tone, I can do all dynamics so well and get THE BEST out of the violin, it sounds like a Stradivari now!! no jokes, absolutely beautiful, this is it, this is 'my set' now, Dynamo Silver G, Silver D, Dynamo A and Pirastro Gold Label E medium.
Cons: nothing really, they are also very pitch stable and settle within a couple of days, they last me up to 4 months (I practice 2 hours a day), they could last me more (up to 6 months) but I am very demanding of my strings and don't like to play them to death.
Other: Finding the right strings for you and your instrument is a VERY LONG expensive process but when you get there it is so worth it, glad I am there now :)

Dynamo strings
Pros: I really like the strings....was looking for an alternative to Wachel Timbre which are very expensive and only available from the manufacturer with import tax to pay. These strings are very warm and colourful and smooth. Am enjoying them alot.
Cons: None
Other: I play a modern violin by Andrew Fairfax
