Questions & Answers

Does this end have a ball or loop on it?

An end of the string is connected to a ball. Depending on how you use the ball, you may do so in two your tailpiece has a fine tuner, a ball will sit on the slot of the tuner, and the string will fit snugly into the tube when the string is threaded around the peg. The string can also be threaded through the hole on the tailpiece before going through the peg if you do not have a fine tuner. Make sure the ball on the string is properly positioned under the tailpiece hole before threading the string. If the ball on the string is tightened under the tailpiece, it will secure itself. When snugging the string with the peg, be careful not to damage it. If necessary, you should lay the instrument on a soft surface or place a towel or cloth on a table while it is being tuned. In order to avoid the string from popping up, make sure the ball inside the tailpiece stays straight as you tighten the peg. It is possible to hurt yourself if the string pops out abruptly from the tailpiece.

It would be impossible for me to perform without strings
5/5

Currently I play a viola made of carbon fiber by Luis and Clark. The authors recommend Dominant C, G, and D strings, as well as a Larsen A string Having tried several string combinations, I have found that this particular string combination fits my fiddle very well, just as they told me it would.

Alternative to Pirazzi's at a very affordable price
5/5

There is no rule that says the dominant must be present. Alternative to Pirazzi's at a very affordable price. If your instrument is different from mine, then they may or may not pair well, but I found the tone of the dominant to be much deeper and relaxing than Pirazzi. It is also helpful that they last for a long time. The dominants are a good choice if you are looking for a gut sound at a low price.

I give it 5 stars

In order to preserve sonority, traditions must be maintained.
