Questions & Answers
Super Sensitive Red Label strings have a solid steel core, steel flat wrap, steel e and string, and are used by students and some professionals who would not use anything else. They are very long lasting, stay in tune, and Buford recommends them.
Oscar, I believe they were at the end of the ballgame, but I'll double-check!
You should be able to order a package, in my opinion. It only has the d string in it.
I don't use color to determine which strings to use. The thickness of the string serves as a guide; the thickest string is G, followed by D, and so on. Color is not uniform. It differs from one business to the next. I hope you find this information useful.
Selected User Reviews For Super Sensitive Violin Strings (2124)
These are steel cored strings, and I've discovered that they produce the classic postwar (post WWII) sound heard on most fiddle recordings from the 1950s to the 1980s. Steel was first used in the early 1900s, so you'll hear it on old recordings. br>br>Steel sounds clearer, less complex, and thin to a violinist. Perhaps they're fine in an orchestra, but when playing with guitars, banjos, and mandolins, a fiddler needs to ring through to be heard. br>br>Some popular fiddle strings, such as Black Diamonds, sound harsher, with a scratchy sound that, to my ear, makes the fiddle sound like it's made out of a cigar box. These aren't among them. With them, even my newest fiddle, a German fiddle from the 1920s, sounds great. One of my older ones is currently being restored, and I'm looking forward to putting them to use on it. Other things to think about: br>br> It's best to be gentle when putting these strings on. I've broken them just as much as I've broken other brands. Also keep in mind that the wound strings have nickel windings. If the user has a "metal allergy," it's possible that it's a nickel allergy, so it's best to use a different formulation. More rosin is used by some fiddlers. I'm one of them, and I make extensive use of it. These flat wound strings don't retain as much rosin as wire wrapped strings, but they don't tear up the bow hair as much, so I consider it a fair trade-off. br>br>Edited a year later to add that I still think these strings are good for the classic old recording style fiddle sound of my old $2 fiddles, but they are clearly insufficient for my luthier-made fiddles. played the fiddle I used synthetic strings with a plated E string for that one. Edited to add that, surprisingly, a steel cored A string sounds better on that fiddle than a synthetic one, so I'm using a Red Label A string, which really brings out the tone! (Tonica G and D, as well as Oliv E and the Red Label A!.
When I contacted the seller, they requested that I return it so that they could inspect it for abuse before sending me a replacement (how does my daughter play her violin without a D string?). It did not break as a result of abuse. The string was attached by a skilled violinist. This product has left me very disappointed. the level of customer service.
I purchased the E string after breaking my violin's E string while tuning it. The string arrived in a nice package and appears to be in good working order so far.
It was fantastic. I completed the task at hand. Until two weeks later, when it broke. It's a shame it didn't last a little longer.
Excellent service and product quality. Excellent service and prompt delivery.
For students, this is a popular set of strings. The strings were simple to install and did not stretch much in the first week. After I put the strings in, my violin stayed in tune for the most part. The violin produces a nice sound.
This is a great beginner violin string. When our G string broke, Amazon was able to quickly send a replacement. It arrived in a standard package and will suffice until my daughter progresses to the next level.
These strings allow your violin to sing to its full potential. They're a high-quality item.
