Cecilio4 Packs of Stainless Steel 4/4-3/4 Violin Strings Set (Total 16 Strings)

very good

Good students strings. I was pleased with the bundling price. I would buy again. Tuned up very nicely without fuss.

Decent quality for a good price. Shipping was very fast.

I think quantum mechanics dictates that if you walk into a wall every second for 15 billion years you will emerge on the other side. Maybe if you throw these strings at a wall and have them emerge on the other side, but also have the particles that were trying to go through the wall stay in place. Then repeat the process with the 8 string you have. You could obtain your 16 string in about 30 billion years.There are 4 strings in this set, not 16. They also kind of suck.

I was fortunate to have my fiddle worked on by a real luthier, a friend of a friend, and he did a wonderful job. One of the new strings he put on broke the first time I tried to tune it. I felt sheepish, as I hadn't broken a string like that since I was learning to play, about 45 years ago, but then I read a review of those strings, and found that this was not uncommon.I searched Amazon for different strings, and found these, which most people seemed to like, the price was amazing, and thought, "Why not?"When I put a set on the fiddle, tuned the strings with an electronic tuner with relative ease, and began to play, I was amazed. Decent sound, and these strings held tune from the start almost perfectly. I've never experienced that with brand new strings.I am a very satisfied customer. I hope the strings last. They seem to be very good for my need.
