D’Addario Prelude Violin Single String, Single E String, 4/4 Scale, Medium Tension - J811 4/4M - Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical and Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – 1 String

See below for my background, but I'm putting the important points up top: these strings have really good projection and very bright, clear tone with easy action.Suggested use cases: Beginners, bluegrass, folk, country, and they'll probably sound good on an electric violin (Only have the one set, so I can't test them on my e-fiddle!). They'll be fine in a student or community orchestra as well. Just make sure you're in tune. They're extremely easy to put on provided your violin has a ball end chin rest. Most student violins, especially those with a Whitmer tailgut will be of the ball end variety.Bottom line: excellent value for money, very clear tone, the open strings really 'ring' out beautifully.I've been playing fiddle for about six or seven months now, but I've been a musician literally all my life. I received a used instrument that had, at the time, year old Dominant strings on it that I purchased these to replace. It's taken me this long to actually do the deed because I was frankly uneasy about changing the strings. I had a Chinese VSO (violin-shaped object) before this that literally fell apart when I tried to take one string off, but as long as you have a good quality instrument and only change one string at a time, you'll be fine(mine was a VSO from, like, 1995, literally made of plywood with the sound post glued in place!)The difference between these and Dominant strings, besides the price (Dominants retailing at about $50) is mostly in the tone coloration. These strings are very clear and bright, which some people might describe as "nasally" or "thin". If you have a violin that's already very muddy and dark sounding (the opposite direction from bright/clear) you'll get a good balance from these. But even if you don't, chances are you'll be fine with these strings. If they do sound too shrill for you, you might be able to have your luthier make adjustments to your violin.If you don't have a luthier, get a luthier. Buy them a round or two, or bake them some brownies, whatever you have to do to get into their good graces. You'll thank me when your violin comes unglued (No, really. This is a thing that happens, and it's an easy fix for a qualified luthier/technician)

Standard quality, good fit and price

Improved the sound of a too dark violin.No break in period, good tension.

It was a good product. I have been playing for 7 years now and I upgraded to a new violin that was strung with Dominant strings. They sounded so good. I got this string after going through a few Dominant-A-strings that frayed around the third finger and didn't last more than four months. This string didn't sound as good as a Dominant string but it was pretty close in my opinion. I was wondering if my teacher would notice so I didn't tell her that I had changed it and she never noticed. It is noticeably thinner than the Dominant string and it doesn't resonate as much. I also found out that the oil from your hands can make the string fray so I started washing my hands before playing. It does help. This string was definitely more resistant to my hand oil and it was easier on my hands since it was thinner. So good if you want a upgrade from Cecilio but it definitely is not Dominant. It is definitely more reasonable of a price and not bad for what you pay for. It is nice that you can get two of these for one Dominant-A-string.Just some things I would have liked to know sooner about violin.:Wash your hands before playing.: Clean your violin with a cloth after every playing time so it doesn't ruin the varnish.: It helps to put a cloth between you and the violin if you are playing and getting hot.: You don't have to loosen the bow too much when you put it away.:Having a good violin is important.Hope some of this helps!

Nothing notable? Wait, you play notes on here. Just saying it works as it should.

Good quality to the price

Una muy buena opción de buena calidad

100% confiable A1 lo recomiendo.!!!

Un excelente sonido, justo lo que buscaba

Excelente juego de cuerdas.

A projeção do som ficou muito agradável no meu violino. Senti uma melhora na resposta das notas em relação ao encordoamento que utilizava anteriormente. Atendeu minhas espectativas.

Há alguns anos compro essa corda. Uma boa saída para não usar a Alphayue que é mais cara. Possui um ótimo som a um ótimo custo benefício. Nada profissional, nível estudante mas bem satisfatório. Uma corda possível de repor e fazer a troca anual conforme o esperado.

Ottimo prodotto
