D’Addario Prelude Violin String Set, 4/4 Scale Medium Tension – Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical and Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – Sealed Pouch to Prevent Corrosion, 1 Set

Very easy to fit. Sound is wonderful, not too bright. Easy to tune, unlike more expensive strings which can be overly sensitive. Good value for money - I would compare these particular strings to one over double their price. Good for beginners and casual players.

I bought these as I wanted to experiment with different strings, having had some issues with strings twice the price. Very pleased with the sound I'm getting. Be aware this will vary from instrument to instrument. I thought to try these as I had recently bought a D'Addario tuner which gave me the impression this company market quality products. At this price these string are definitely worth a try if you're not sure where to go with 'cheaper' strings.

Perfect price for the quality.

I know these are a good beginner string but the e string snapped just after fitting (must of been faulty at the ball fitting).... very annoying...... so just 4 stars this time.

Great replacement strings

I used these to replace strings that came with my violin and the difference was amazing. These really made a rather whiny sounding violin become a really nice toned violin. Would definitely buy these again when I need new strings.

i bought the more expensive pro-arte last time but they only lasted 2 months so i bought these for less then half the price so i was expecting them to sound a bit harsh but i cant really tell the difference, maybe a touch brighter but that might be because they're new, so if there is a difference then it must be very subtle, maybe a professonal could tell. ill be sticking to these from now on and save money, i play bluegrass fiddle not classical violin

Been eyeing these for a while just to try and I honestly like the sound and they seem pretty responsive.What I didn't know and can't see on the listing is that the G and D strings are Nickel wound.....not great when you're allergic XD. (Hence the rating)For anyone who wants the info;G String: Nickel woundD String: Nickel woundA String: Aluminium woundE String: Unwound
