Pros: Very Bright sound and comfortable to play. The break-in time is also quick which is helpful for those who play regular sessions and concerts. Excellent price, you're really getting value for money here.
Cons: I was very disappointed with the Low G string provided..it's tension wasn't up to the same standard as the others and it left an unbalanced sound..This is something that I am very particular about as I have a preference towards tunes that keep on the lower register. I replaced the G with a string from a set of Helicore Medium tension strings by D'addario which settled nicely even though it's a different set which I try and recommend not to do.
Other: The String Zone is an excellent service and I intend to keep using it. Delivery time was very quick and Postage was very cheap..it's the best website I have used for strings and the customer service is quality.

Pros: Bought for my Grade 1 level daughter as I've always liked Pirastro strings for my Viola. Perfect for her (pretty rubbish) little violin, make a much more reasonable sound than the random strings it came with.

The String Zone helped out..
Pros: These strings were purchased for our Grand-Daughter who play with the Essex Young Peoples' Orchestra. She chose them and is very happy with them. I play guitar, so cannot comment from direct experience. However, The String Zone packaged and shipped the strings promptly (after an Amazon supplier let us down) and she was able to replace the broken string on her Violin in time for her concert. Excellent service - thank you!
