    • I changed the whole set and again the D string broke in half
    • I put a set on my violin,the D string broke in half!.only after a week of use
    • Unfortunately, three of the strings broke before I could even tighten them to the correct pitch.
    • The only downfall is that the D string broke in just three weeks
    • These strings sound great, but I had three strings break within the first month, two within the 7 days of putting the string on the instrument.
    • The G string broke during installation (simply unraveled at the end), and the A broke after about 2 weeks of playing.
    • The sound is nice, but the A string broke rather quickly, so that was disappointing.
    • I did have a string break but that was mostly on me
    • The D string broke - just broke! - after one week
    • However, I have consistently found the high e to be excessively tense.
    • 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.
    • 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
    • Many people have trouble with E strings--this E string sounds very nice.
    • So, I typically add H311W to the order just to have an extra E string available
    • Note that there are two sets of Helicore mediums, and this particular set has a wrapped E string (as opposed to a solid steel E string).
    • The E is very weak and I recommend buying a separate E if you're going to buy these
