Pirastro Gold Label 4/4 Violin E String - Medium - Steel - Ball End

Excellent sound quality and easy installation. This is a ball string, so make sure your violin is compatible with it. After installing, the string responded fantastic with each bow stroke.

Good violin E string

I had recently decided to switch back to Dominant strings, but like many other reviewers here, I can't stand the sound of the Dominant E. Seeing how popular this E string is as a substitute, I decided to give it a try. I accidentally ordered loop-end instead of ball-end at first, but after the return was made (thanks for making it super easy Amazon!), I switched on my new strings. And WOW — I was blown away with the quality of this string. It's loud but not harsh, it's brilliant but not screechy — it really sings beautifully with my other strings, and stays in tune/broke in quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Suena muy bien con esta cuerda

Product itself is good, but not the package. A paper envelop with bubble wrap. Still it was damaged a bit. Not ideal but i needed the string very bad. So i gave it 4 stars.

I upgraded to this string on the advice of my teacher and what an improvement in the tone and sound quality! Amazing.

Worked well

I haven't tried other good E strings so can't compare, but I'm so glad I upgraded from a basic E to this, definitely can get a better tone, and there's nothing more discouraging than sqeeky high notes on violin. Of course you still need to work on bow hold and technique for sound - a string on its own doesn't fix everything, but this makes it easier to get a nice sound! I'm a middling fiddle player, so don't buy super expensive strings but generally do buy mid price stings so that's what I'm comparing to.
