Reviews around play (5.00 of 5)

  • They were nice, but after a few years of a dual classical/fiddle track, I have been only playing fiddle music for the past three years
  • I feel like I have a lot of range from soft/quiet playing to loud, and a range of clear to gritty sounds depending on how I bow
  • They also don't play well or sound good when playing in humid conditions, even if you change rosins

Reviews around pitch (5.00 of 5)

  • I didn't lose pitch constantly, maybe a little less than when comparing them to synthetic strings
  • Unfortunately, three of the strings broke before I could even tighten them to the correct pitch.
  • Not sure they will last as long or be as pitch stable--helicores last a long time and stay in tune better than any other string I've used.

Reviews around quality (4.03 of 5)

  • Based on the good reviews, I thought these strings would be a good quality for the price.
  • They produce an excellent quality of sound with minimum bow moment
  • Poor quality
  • Sound quality is great, just like the Thomastik's I bought, but, just like the Thomastik's, they break way too soon.
  • In my opinion the best strings for beginners as the sound quality is very good and, they hold tune very well.

Reviews around violin (3.78 of 5)

  • I have an excellent old german violin and these strings brought out it's full deep tone.
  • I got them for a dark toned violin, and it certainly gave it a brighter sound
  • My violin always sounded good but with these strings it really comes alive
  • Overall I think these are great strings for someone that wants the brighter sound from their dark violin
  • I should mention my daughter has used -Super Senstive violin strings and in comparsion, she preferred the D 'Addario's.

Reviews around price (3.39 of 5)

  • The E is very weak and I recommend buying a separate E if you're going to buy these
  • Great service, arrived in perfect shape, and very competitive price.
  • The E is very weak and I recommend buying a separate E if you're going to buy these
  • It has a nice round tone all the time, even compared to the Olive Gold E that I chose to play because I hate an E that shrieks
  • Just got them in today and while tuning the violin the stupid e string broke.

Reviews around response (2.90 of 5)

  • Just got them in today and while tuning the violin the stupid e string broke.
  • I have since gone back to the set with the solid steel E string.
  • I have since gone back to the set with the solid steel E string.
  • However, I have consistently found the high e to be excessively tense.
  • So, I typically add H311W to the order just to have an extra E string available
