Review: Great strings. - I discovered these strings by accident a couple of years ago when I broke a violin string and had no spares. A local music store had Pro Arte medium tension strings in stock and they were inexpensive, so I figured that I would buy a set as a stopgap until I could get a set of my preferred strings online. I noticed right away that the strings come packaged in sealed pouches, which is a nice touch, and that the ends of the strings are nicely finished. The sound is very sweet. A darker sound than many classical players prefer. I read another review that said that the reviewer hated the Pro Arte strings because they were dull. The reviewer was going back to Dominant strings. I find Dominant stings very loud, for sure, but it is a bright, glaring sound that I find that I am always trying to sweeten. I find Evah Pirazzi strings even louder and more glaring. If you, like me, find some of these more popular strings to be loud but overly glaring, you should try a set of the Pro Arte strings. The price is so good that trying them won't break the bank. I am hooked on these strings now and am glad to be saving so much money with each set. I will try the Pro Arte heavy tension strings next. Side remark: On their website, D'Addario publishes wonderfully clear tables showing the tensions (in pounds) of its various strings. So refreshing. Pirastro's site describes tensions only as soft, medium or thick. I prefer to know the actual tension. Another remark: My most recent set of Pro Arte strings was too wide to fit through the slots in my violin tailpiece. This was a big disappointment at first. But I learned from my violin shop that this is a common problem these days and is no big deal: One can simply have the slots in the tailpiece filed a bit wider to accommodate contemporary strings. Review: The Perfect Violin Strings for My Violin - I have been playing the violin for over 15 years and I have finally found the perfect strings, D'Addario Pro-Arte violin strings in medium tension for my violin. I do not think I will ever use anything but these on my current violin. This strings provide a beautiful rich tone, perfect for my violin, which has a rich but bright tone. I especially like the G, D, and A. The steel E is the only one that seems a bit generic in sound. If I preformed more, I might look into an E string that would sing a little more. Compared to other synthetic core strings, these settle in fairly quickly. I play every day for an hour or so and they were settled in about two days. They are very stable in helping the instrument stay in tune and do not slip often. These strings are a very good value for the money--violin strings are rather expensive compared to guitar strings. I use D'Addario Kaplan Artcraft Rosin in Light, which I think works well with my bow and these strings. Edit: For some reason the last set of these strings the G was sound very thick and would not fit in my tailpiece slot (I do not have fine tuners). This was upsetting as I do not want to alter my wood tailpiece. Thankfully, I was able to return the string and got one that fit correctly. The E in that package wasn't wound all the way down and I returned that one as well to avoid the steel string from cutting into my tailpiece and damaging it. ## Features - Scaled to fit 3/4 size violin with a playing length of 12 1/4 inches (310mm), these medium tension strings are optimized to the needs of a majority of players.
