Jargar 4/4 Violin E String Thick(Forte) Chromesteel Ball-End Review

Jargar 4/4 Violin E String Thick(Forte) Chromesteel Ball-End
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of my favorite e strings, although lately it is erratically available. It combines well with many different string combinations for the G, D, and A. Many people recommend it to top off Dominants, making the entire violin sound fundamentally more ringing and brilliant. I have used it with Visions, Infeld Blues, as well as Dominants, and find that it just feels more responsive and open than the native e strings of those sets. It gives my violin a more open and ringing sound, and it lasts a long time, more than a year, where I feel I'm just changing it out because of time, and felt not much difference between a new string and the old one. It never squeaks ever!
It has a nice clear sound all the way up the fingerboard, is great for doublestops involving both the open e and the fingered e string. I think it's the string for you to play Vivaldi's Winter.

Jargar chromesteel strings have been a long time favorite for violinists, violists and cellists.They possess a powerful, robust tone with a bright response making it a good choice for folk style playing, or any music that uses a lot of double stops.

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

Keep in mind I am a beginner violinist so I have not used a large variety of different strings. I bought these because they were positively reviewed against a few popular, much higher priced strings. I cannot confirm these reviews, however, these strings are much more powerful and responsive than others in this price range.

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.

These strings are the favorite of both of our violin teachers. We have used these for our 6-9 year old and they help her have a nice sound.

Dominant series violin strings are one of the most widely-used synthetic strings. A highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core makes these comparable in sound and feel to natural gut.The E string is aluminum/steel or plain steel, ball or loop end.

I am an intermediate adult beginner. I was finding it frustrating to have my E string squeal on me no matter what brand of strings I used. (Dominant, Pirazzi)
I purchased this Kaplan string out of that frustration. I have been using it for 3 months now, and amazingly, no squeals!! My Suzuki instructor played on it
to see if it had good sound quality, it sounded amazing when she played through all the shifts on it. I recommend this string highly if you are likewise frustrated with changing from the A string to an open E, and nothing but a "whistle" comes out!! Karen Ellenberger, N.C.

D'Addario Zyex 4/4 Violin Set Medium Gauge Review

D'Addario Zyex 4/4 Violin Set Medium Gauge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently changed all my violin strings to Zyex, and I can say nothing but good things about them. They set quickly, and have a rich, slightly dark sound. They are loud and have very quick bow response.
The only possible negative thing I can say about these strings is that they take slightly more pressure to play in 3rd or 4th position, but as I have only been playing the violin for four years, it could be that there is some mistake in my technique.
I am a classical player, but I would recommend these strings for any type of music.

Zyex is a new generation of synthetic material, tremendous for professional players. It was created to be stable for drastic climatic conditions and settles very quickly. Zyex has a warmer sound than other synthetic strings.

Larsen Tzigane 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge with Ball-end E Review

Larsen Tzigane 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge with Ball-end E
Average Reviews:

I have been playing violin for 13 years and am very impressed with these strings. I researched everywhere about which strings I should buy and finally decided on these. I originally thought the price was a little bit on the expensive side, but I decided to go ahead with them. I have been using them very much for 3 weeks now and they are truly brilliant. They feel much more flexible than any other strings I have ever had. The G and D sound very strong and rich on my violin, the A is all-right (nothing special/nothing bad), and the E string is very Brilliant. All the strings have a very loud, but rich tones that bring a sounding confidence to my playing. They all respond well, but you do need to apply more rosin than it would take for all other strings. I have never written a review, but I always base what I buy off of the reviews and I am glad to say that I recommend these very much.

Larsen Tzigane violin strings, without exaggerated tension, are built on a newly developed composite fibre bundle core. Tension creates volume rather than carrying power. The unique combination of overtones makes for a quality sound not unlike that of a great singer - a sound that carries while, at the same time, is pleasant to the ear of the player. Tzigane strings offer a sound and response similar to gut strings, providing a broad range of tonal colors. A complex, rich tone with good focus and projection.

Thomastik Dominant 3/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - Aluminum/Steel Ball-End E
Average Reviews:

The Dominant strings sets the standard for synthetic violin strings, being one of the first to be marketed. It works well on many different types of violins since it is pretty decent, predictable and gives a middle of the road tone. When it is new, there is a slight metallic feel, but that goes away after it is stretched out. Some people like the metallic feel and insist on new Dominants. They do take a few days to settle in though and last about 2-3 months.
They feel supple under the finger and are not high tension strings. They start out on the bright side with good overtones but then they go dull. The E string is just ordinary, and many people substitute a different E string (such as Pirastro Gold). In fact Dominant sells sets with just the G, D, and A.
