I thought the string set had promise. However, the A string would not tune. Eventually, it broke. I am disappointed with this set of strings.

Count on D’Addario to come up with another great string set! These play in within a day, and settle very quickly. Very easy to play on, and in fact they have a very warm sound that would probably be favorable for a recording musician. Thanks for providing these, Southwest!

For the price, they are really nice strings. On my student model violin (Klaus Mueller Bucharest) I paired the A and E with D’addario Zyex G and D. It was a fantastic combo. The A and E are not shrill and they last a long time.

Great strings as always that speak and only take minimal to break in!
