Pirastro Tonica 4/4 Violin Strings with Advanced Synthetic Core, Medium Gauge with Ball End E - Professional Nylon String Set with Warm, Rich Sound - Heat-Resistant Strings for Violin Players

Really great sounding violin strings. I bought these a few weeks ago. As an upgrade from my steel violin strings. I did some research online. And these were the most commonly suggested.Super sweet sounding! And have great responce to how I use my bow. A much bigger range of sound than just the loudness of steel. These strings really sing!They cost more than steel. But the it’s worth it. They are also the cheapest quality synthetic strings you can get and are very Similar to dominant strings.If you’re a beginner violinist and have steel strings I’d definitely recommend these to dramatically improve your tone.

High quality strings, easy to set up, and with a strong and vibrant sound. They required tuning for the first few days, but have remained in tune since.

These Pirastro Tonica 4/4 Violin strings settle down quickly, stay in tune, are easy to put on the violin and last well. They sound good - but maybe not quite as good as Thomastic Dominants to which they are similar and often compared, but they are considerably cheaper and I think that is an acceptable trade off. I've tried almost every Violin string on the market and have settled on these as my favourites. Some Violin strings are ludicrously expensive for the average player, but Pirastro Tonica are at a sensible price point allowing one to replace them before they completely lose tone. I have had the 3rd (D) string break at the ball end on other brands but not these. I would recommend Pirastro Tonica, they sound good, are reliable and reasonably priced.

Not an experienced player so i won't give a detailed review of tones and what not. They are very nice a noticeable improvement on the stock strings that came with my student violin; at a reasonable price.

the package came so quickly and the strings settled in no time . ready for workthank you.

I've been playing the fiddle for around 25 years and always used Thomastik Dominant strings with the piastro gold e, anything else didn't seem to suit my fiddle or sound good to my ear. I did go through a period of trying some alternatives again a few years ago and couldn't find anything that had the sound or response of the Dominants. Someone suggested I give these a try as an alternative and been using them for around 3 months and found them remarkably similar and possibly a bit of a nicer tone. The real bonus is that I can use the e string from the set now and with the strings being cheaper I save myself around 12 quid for a new set of strings.

Posted through the letterbox, all fine so far.

Bought these to replace the standard strings on my daughter’s violin and they are a nice upgrade for the price.
