Questions & Answers

I have a few questions about the E string's loop end. Or is it the end of the ball?

It has a loop end, but the ball and a bridge protector tube are enclosed in a small envelope with the e string. Even with my big fingers, I was able to easily push the ball into the loop.

Which is better: the loop or the E ball? What is the string gauge? What metals or materials are the G, D, and A plated with?

On all of these, you'll find a synthetic core, as well as:br>- E string with tin plating - A string made of aluminum that has been woundbr>- D string with silver woundbr>- The silver wound G string has a removable ball, allowing it to be used as a loop or a ball.

What is the age of the strings?

Our strings are still in excellent condition. Every two weeks, we sell out of our string inventory. On average, it takes three weeks.

Is there a loop or a ball at the end of the strings? Is it possible for you to take the ball off the E string?

The ball end of the E string can be removed. It can be used as a ball or as a loop by removing the ball. Ball ends are the letters A, D, and G.

Selected User Reviews For Thomastik Peter Infeld 4/4 Violin Strings Set with Tin E

Long-term strings that are fantastic! ***UPDATE 6 MONTHS LATER***br>I WILL NEVER LEAVE THESE STRINGS AGAIN
5/5

Instead of using a silver wound D with the set, I now use an aluminum wound D. It's a huge difference, and I recommend trying both to see which one fits you best. Only a Stark E from the melange set is still in use. At this point, I have no desire to try anything ekse. My old French violin, as well as myself, adores these. They last a long time, are rich and vibrant, and can be anything you want! Carbon vs. Oxygen On my violin, the wood bow makes a difference, but it isn't a string issue. In any case, I strongly advise you to give them a try. For a decade, I worked as a Pirastro girl. I've been turned by these for a long time. br>br>*UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER
*The Perpetuals were terrible on my violin; I've stuck with the PI setup and stark E and love them still. The perpetuals were great strings, but not on this violin, as they came off after only 5 minutes of playing. Nope. br>br>However, Dominants have piqued my interest recently. br>I'm a huge fan of these PI strings; My Stark E from the melange set is finally showing signs of wear and tear. With regular practice. br>The rest of the set (all PI) has appeared to improve over time; perhaps it's just my imagination? However, they appear to be in excellent condition! Really. br>Each time I think I don't like them or that they sound too harsh? To me, the richness and character of the music become even more apparent, and I fall in love with it all over again. They're bright and can make a sweet sound if necessary, and they hide a depth that I adore. They'd be ideal for a soloist; they can work in a group if you play them correctly, they can stay quiet, but they really shine, and I mean really shine, in solo work. If you like fiddle music, I think they'd be great, but I think they'd be great with anything classical. They have a lot of power (as does my violin). A part of me wishes to try Dominants for a more mellow experience. tone? However, I believe that changing the bow could change that, as I currently use a Coda GX, but a good wood bow produced a completely different sound. So, right now, I'm going to try out some good wood bows. The entire procedure is a science! br> Because I don't want to part with my Thomastik melange set's Stark E, I've been hesitant to purchase dominants, but I think I'll give them a try now. I'm just curious how dominants will sound on my powerful violin, as I haven't used them in over a decade. br>I, too, believe. know. I'm going to get a second set. I'm sure I'll miss them and wish they'd come back to me. br>br>*original review
I must say, these more than make up for what vision solo lacks (the visions didn't do well in the lower registers for me). These are fantastic (though I already own a stark high-tension Thomastik E from the melange set and have yet to try this E). On my over 100-year-old French violin, I really enjoy them. I've always preferred pirastro strings and wanted to learn more about them. I'm very excited to use Perpetuals on this violin (they are, in my opinion, the best strings I've ever used, despite the fact that every violin and bow is unique). Overall, I'd buy these again, and they last much longer than Evahs, obligatos, gut, and hold tune better than visions, as well as sounding sweeter. They appear to be the best Thomastik has to offer, despite the fact that dominants are always a good work horse for any level player. These are excellent for solos, projections, and ensembles, in my opinion. There's also an orchestra. They retain the power of my violin, but I have complete volume control elsewhere, and they blend in perfectly in an orchestra. They'd make great fiddle strings, too, though I'm a classically trained musician and they're great there as well. I'll update once I've tried on perpetuals (which I think will be my top choice here, but we'll see!). Overall, I am happy with my purchase and would make another one. If perpetuals aren't an option, I'll go with these!.

Strings that are outstanding and professional! I own a $1,100 violin that I bought from a reputable violin store
5/5

I started playing violin a few years ago after studying cello for a while. I primarily play old time fiddle, but I also study classical music (particularly the Baroque). On my advanced-level computer program, I began with Dominants (which were appropriate for my skill level at the time), then progressed to Obligatos, which gave my violin a richer tone. These PI strings with tin E are stunning! I've progressed to the point where I can pick up on subtle differences in intonation, tone, and other aspects of speech. I adore these strings and plan to keep using them indefinitely. I'm a tone fiend, and I can attest that the E string has a lovely tone. There are no shrill sounds or squeaks. Just a lovely tone, whether it's pianissimo or forte. Normally, I'd wait a few weeks before writing a review, but I tuned these up, practiced some scales, and then played for over an hour. Of course, I had to fine-tune them a few times, but once they were warmed up from playing, they stayed in tune (after only an hour!). ) and I'd be happy to perform with them tomorrow for a final retune. The strings are extremely stable, stay in tune, have excellent tone quality, and play quietly. There isn't a smidgeon of a sharpness to it I strongly advise anyone interested in performing, whether at an intermediate or advanced level, to give these strings a try. They could be the last strings you ever try, and you could end up sticking with them for the rest of your playing career!.

Possibly the best synthetic strings on the market
5/5

The sound is warm and has a wide dynamic range. These are, without a doubt, the best-sounding synthetic strings available. We tested several string sets on various violins and found that this one has the best dynamic range and warmest sound. One of the few synthetic strings that, with their warm resonating frequenties, can truly touch your heart. Gut strings are the only ones that can do this. With the tin-plated E, this is a well-balanced set. The D string is clearly the best, while the G and A strings have a weaker sound when compared to the D. However, I pair it with a Goldbrokat E, which has an unrivaled sweetness. br>Okay, Evah Pirazzi golds are a little clearer, but they don't have the same deep warmth as these strings. I also experimented with the PI gold-plated E. The E sounds nice and warm, but the volume is too low, so stick with the tin one. I don't think it's worth trying the platinum E because it's so expensive. If you have a violin that has never sounded good, this is the place to be. Try these Peter Infelds; they might just breathe new life into your violin.

These are about as good as strings get in terms of quality and value
5/5

Maybe not as much tone color as I'd like, but I've been playing Helicores for a long time, so maybe my playing isn't subtle enough to pick up on the colors yet. The dynamic range is enormous, to the point of being startling. A tone that is silky and silvery. They are light and silky to the touch. Very quick bow response, easily the fastest of any synthetic string I've tried, and very close to Helicores in terms of speed. They come with a loop E and a tiny envelope containing a bridge protector tube and a ball, both of which are very easy to install with no tools, even with my big fingers. br>br>I believe I've found the strings I'd like to stick with at this price. There are much less expensive strings that sound almost as good as those that cost well over $100.

Make a lovely sound with your guitar
4/5

My daughter's beautiful voice has become even more beautiful. I just wish they were a little less expensive because they only last a few months. She is a college student who participates in sports on a daily basis.

In the world of strings, this is the gold standard
5/5

In the world of strings, this is the gold standard. Great sound, long-lasting, dependable, and rarely breaks. I still need to locate a more suitable set of steel strings. I've tried a few over the years, but none have come close to matching Peter Infeld's tone richness and dependability.

Both a good French violin and a cheap Chinese violin were given a boost in depth and clarity
5/5

  There is a noticeable increase in tone depth and modulation. It has a strong resonant quality to it. Short break of a few hours- With a night's rest and several re-runs, I was able to complete the task on time. tunes. It's a little dark, but it's not muddy. Well- packaged. These strings will be used in the future.

The sound is very bright
5/5

The sound is bright without being tense, but it is recommended that you use a different e string because it always makes noise when playing open e string chords.
