Pros: They speak very rapidly - better than Vision or Dominants. Tone is bright but has depth, warmth and variety as well as power. Longer lasting than many competitors.
Cons: The very expensive platinum E string does not suit my violin - powerful but with metallic overtones and frequent squeaks replacing open strings.
Keen Amateur
Smooth warm response.

Pros: Previously I used Eva Piratzzi but switched when I asked James Ehnes what he used after a concert. I feel the sound is warmer and deeper than EP, although I still don't sound like James!!
Cons: Nothing so far after 4 weeks of use.
Professional
A great improvement.

Pros: I am a maker. This is the first time I have fitted Peter Infeld strings to a violin. My customer is a professional player and teacher with a beautiful old Italian violin. She says that it has made a substantial improvement to her sound. She immediately ordered a spare set !
Cons: Price ?
Other: None
Professional
My favourite.

Pros: Smooth, even, squeak free, vibrant. Current string of choice after extensive experimentation with Evah Pirazzi Gold, Larsen Virtuoso, Pirastro Passione Solo and Vision Titanium Solo. Clearly superior on my violin.
Cons: No cons!
Professional
Mellow sound

Pros: G, D and A settled quickly. Made a much nicer, more mellow sound than the previous make I'd been using, and seem to give me a larger palate of colours.
Cons: The gold E string took a long while to settle and whistled like crazy - reverted back to old make for that string. Need to do more research on that string, and try one of the other choices
Keen Amateur
Nice, warm strings, pity about the E

Pros: Nice warm sound, very soft on the fingers. Held their tune well from the beginning.
Cons: The E string is a bit scratchy and has a wolf note on the 4th (B) which I haven't had with other strings.
Other: These are nice strings, but I'd suggest using them along with a Kaplan Gold E string instead of the E which the set comes with.

Pros: Was given a set of these in Austria in July by an Austrian violinist as the Evah Gold that I was using for my new Guarnerius copy by Andrew Fairfax.The difference was amazing. Am about to change the A though the D and G are still good. Have already changed the E. The E is very high tension which made a massive difference. I think the tensions are very dependent on the combination each string...I wouldn't mix and match them and I think they are more suitable for a newer instrument...not an 18th century for example without advice. When we changed the strings we did them one at a time and it was interesting to hear the violin come 'alive' more as we put them on starting with the G. The E made a huge difference at the end. They played in really quickly although I was playing 4 hours plus a day. They stay in tune very well.
Cons: None

Highly recommended

Pros: Settling time and tuning stability, particularly from the beginning, are unparalleled. Good, solid tone, with flexibility for a palette of colours. So far, they haven't died as quickly as other choices.
Cons: The cheapest of the E string choices is a little tinny.
Professional

Pros: I like beautiful bright, clear, almost solo sound on the strings of Peter Infeld. I think they are very good quality in globale.
Cons: I waited for their resistance will be longer. After about a month and a half E string lost its sound quality. Also tuning of the E string is not already perfect. Nevertheless, I am with Peter Infeld strings happy, a pity that their price is not lower.
Other: May be the reason why I have to change my strings so often is I practice a lot...

I am well satisfied

Pros: These strings settle down very quickly & and then hold their pitch almost indefinitely. They are very good value for money and have a lovely rich, bright tone
Cons: nothing
Other: I ordered on line one morning and they arrived in the next mornings post
