I play a nice German violin from 1873 (nothing fancy, but excellent tone), and have not tried these strings on a 'new' violin

On a softer toned antique instrument the effect was much less--on this violin the Evahs in some ways were better

While the tone was smooth and round, the sound didn't project well so after much research, I decided to try the Peter Infeld (PI) strings

Much better tone than dominant strings.

The E in particularly is much better.

I switched back to an Evah Pirazzi gold E string and no whistling
