Questions & Answers

What places would D'Addario strings sound good?

I believe you're enquiring as to whether or not these sound appealing. My son played violin at a performance arts high school and used them throughout his time there.

Is this the same version as the Wondertone version?

sorry no

How long do people live on average? Is it time for a new string if it starts to sound "tinny" or rings when you play other strings?

It is dependent on the amount of time spent playing. It will probably last 3 months if you play 2 hours every day, according to my experience.

What is the total number of strings?

It's for one E string only.

Great replacement for the dominant E string! The sound is fantastic, but be aware that there are two versions of this string - One has the ball at the end, while the other does not! br>br>Made the mistake of ordering the one without and breaking it while trying to "fix" it so I could use it while waiting for the other
5/5

br>br>So all you have to do is be aware and buy the right string for your instrument in the first place, and you should be fine.

It's worth investing in a good E string
5/5

I haven't tried any other good E strings, so I can't compare, but I'm glad I upgraded from a basic E to this; the tone is definitely better, and there's nothing more discouraging on violin than sqeeky high notes. Of course, you should continue to improve your bow hold and sound technique - Although a single string will not solve all problems, it will make it easier to achieve a pleasant sound. br>br>I'm a mediocre fiddle player, so I don't buy super expensive strings, but I do buy a lot of mid-priced strings, so that's what I'm comparing them to.

These strings are fantastic! On my violins, I usually use Dominant strings, but I needed a different string set to bring out the higher nuances on my E string on a new violin I just bought
5/5

This brand was recommended to me by some of my fellow violinists, and I couldn't be happier. They are beautifully balanced across the entire spectrum and produce incredible note quality at the E string's upper end. I would strongly suggest it.

The sound of Piastro is fantastic
5/5

This string has a wonderful tone to it. I bought a pair of Tomastick infelds, but the e string snapped the moment I put them on. This is the first time in 40 years of restringing myself that this has happened. So I swapped out the e string for a Piastro Gold Label, and it sounds fantastic.

This, according to my daughter, was fantastic
5/5

Even though I don't play, my daughter thinks this is fantastic. As a result, I would suggest it and purchase it again. Thanks.

What a sonic explosion! My daughter, who has been playing the violin for five years, just placed an order for it
5/5

The string arrived in good condition (the other brand I ordered previously was broken!). It only took a few minutes to mount it on the violin and tune it, and it now sounds fantastic! What more could you ask for than a great price and a great sound? It is for sale!.

The E String was always my least favorite because it was so high and squeaky
5/5

I used to despise the E String because it was high and squeaky, so I would move to third position on the A to avoid it, but this brand changed my mind; my violin has never sounded more beautiful in the higher octaves.

The color scheme is warm and lively
5/5

There's a reason it's known as the "Gold Standard," and it's the string of choice for many professionals. It's vibrant and warm, and it's a must-have!.
