Simply the BEST!

These are my Favorite strings! I’ve used many strings over the years and I’m so happy I found these. There almost like dominants but a little bitter and much more responsive. They hardly go out of tune once broke in and they last a long time.
Pros
- Medium bright
- Harmonic ring to them
- Long lasting
- Easy to tune
- Stays in tune

Glad I bought them

I'm a novice. Been playing only 2 years but I practice every day. I've only used solid steel core (Prelude) strings until I bought these.
Now I think I understand what "responsive " is. It seems there's more that can be done with bow pressure and speed to get more effect on the sound (tone?). The tone seems a little "softer" too, but not quiter, which I like.
They seem to need more tuning too. Day to day, not while playing.
Bottom line - I like them and will not go back to steel strings.

Pros
- Nicer sound than steel strings.
Cons
- More tuning at the start of each session. Changes more day to day than solid core steel strings.

When I had my 120 year old fiddle rehabbed I was not certain I would learn to play it so restorer put cheap strings on it and when he played it he told me he wished we had spent the extra $ for better strings for the sound was pretty good. A year went by and I started teaching myself and I called him back and he recommended the exact strings I bought from you.
Even I could tell the difference.

I would give them 5 stars, but I'm still a new player, and I don't know that I've earned that right yet. After hearing everyone talk about the differences between steel core and synthetic core strings, I had to finally try a pair. I went with these. So far, I am very pleased. They don't have nearly the "scratchy" sound that I was used to dealing with, and I really like how they sound on my violin. If you're curious, I made a video of the change over, that you can watch here: http://youtu.be/iL1BqXys9t4
