Pirastro Wondertone Solo 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge with Loop End Steel E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been an immense fan of Pirastro's strings for over ten years and am always excited to try their new products. Thus, I purchased a set of Wondertones when they first came out a few years ago. But to be honest, I wasn't all that happy with them. Don't get me wrong, they are still better than most every other string that you will find (especially Dominant), but they just aren't quite as good as they could be. They lack the brillance and projection of the Evah Pirazzis or the rich, warm, almost dark tone of the Obligatos or Olivs.
If you are very particular about your violin strings, I would probably spend the extra $20 or so and pick up a set of Pirazzis or Obligatos.

Pirastro Wondertone Solo strings offer excellent versatility and outstanding playing characteristics. Wondertone Solo features a new synthetic core modified from Pirastro's leading performers, Evah Pirazzi, Obligato, and Violino strings. The result is nearly no break-in time and exceptional tuning stability. These strings offer brilliant, focused tone with unequalled set harmony and powerful, direct projection.

Corelli Alliance Vivace 4/4 Violin String Set Medium with ball E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I upgraded from the Corelli Crystal strings to these strings and they are the best strings I've played so far on my violin. The tone is excellent and the projection is awesome. I recently played an outdoor wedding, unaccompanied, and was told the sound resonated well to the back of the crowd and even around the neighborhood. I'm not 100% sold on the steel E string which is why I gave only 4 stars (I'd give 4.5 if they'd let me). The E is nice, but is a bit "tinny" (not surprising since it's plain steel) which has taken me a little while to get used to. The longer I play with it the better it gets, but I may end up experimenting a bit more to find my perfect E string. I'd definitely recommend these strings for solo performers, though every instrument is different and you may need to experiment with strings before finding the perfect fit for your instrument and playing style. Overall I'd say these strings are absolutely awesome for the price, though they are the most expensive strings I've tried so far and can't comment as to how they compare to a more expensive string.

Corelli Alliance Vivace by Savare are possibly the best synthetic core strings on the market. Corelli Alliance strings provide the warmth of gut along with great projection and stability.
