D'Addario KS 311W Kaplan Solutions 4/4 Size Non-Whistling Violin E String (Wound) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Specifically designed to eliminate open E-string "whistling" instances, this Kaplan Solutions E string produces a sweet, rich, warm tone without the whistle. Blends very well with the lower strings. A free ball-end adapter is included to allow installation on instruments equipped with a single hook-type E-string fine tuner. Available for a full size violin in medium tension only.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.
