Bought these as a replacement for the steel strings that came with my student grade violin. The sound of the steel strings was a bit too metallic for my taste and I wanted to see if replacing them with synthetics would make a difference. The short answer is: Yes. They sound which these synthetic strings produced the first time I put then on the violin was much brighter than the sound of the steel strings! I had read that there is a run-in period when the strings would sound a bit "metallic", but still I was a shocked to hear just how bright (metallic) they sounded. About a month later of moderate playing and the sound has mellowed considerably and I think it will mellow even more.

I would recommend these synthetic strings, especially at this price, as a decent way to move away from steel strings. Even the E string (which is steel) sounds much, much better than the steel E string of the original set.

A great synthetic for the price
Hermes 26.07.2014
It's a new formula from pirastro, and the price was really tempting for me to try these strings

To begin with, I would say that they are somewhere in the middle of the whole sound spectrum, not overly bright or not overly dark.

They have a warm sound associated with most synthetics, and especially at the very first days they have an apparent shinny edge. The silver D could be one of the best in the set, though they sound full and even across the strings

The E string could be one of the most stable in the market

They can pretty much compare with the Thomastik Dominant in my opinion, so if you like Dominants you could give these a try.

My limited knowledge of violin strings only allows me to review these on a price/quality basis. So, yes, they're great for the price :-)

Trusted brand
Lamberto Raymond Jr. 06.12.2019
I've been using Pirastro strings since when I was a kid, I tried different strings with different brands but I keep on coming back to where I am used to. I used Tonica for my violin when I was playing in the orchestra, I also played on the ship with a very tough environment and this string just lasted for a very long time. Suitable for all types of styles and genre and for the price you can't go wrong. Reliable, Practical and excellent for professional use.

The New Standard String
RangsdorfGuessWho 25.07.2018
This string set offers good all-around characteristics. It is even the standard set on instruments in many violin shops (next to Dominants). I recommend using Tonica on a newly bought violin and comparing other strings against that. For example I like to replace the E-String with Gold Label on one of my violins strung with Tonica.

great strings
JurekS 01.02.2018
These are excellent strings, they are easy to put in and take out, and easy to tune. You can play any style with these strings. They do not snap easily. We have used these strings for several years.
