(More customer reviews)Pirastro Gold has a very nice tonal quality, with complex overtones. It works for my second violin (I use the Pirastro Violino in the other one). I found it well worth the money.

Thomastik Infeld Violin Solo Viola A String - Full Size - Medium Gauge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a modern 1992 handmade viola from the W.H. Lee shop. It is a bright, responsive viola and I love it, but sometimes I wish I had a little more warmth without losing the quick response and big sound. I have experimented with many strings over the years but I always come back to Dominants. Most other strings seem to have a metallic sound that doesn't work with my viola at all. It has been a few years since i experimented, but I noticed Thomastik had a new line of viola strings, the Vision Solo. Skeptical, I bought only the A string to give it a test run. I love it! I would say they exceed Dominants in their responsiveness and clarity of sound, but have a bit more warmth - exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend them, but with the caveat that every instrument sounds different and will respond differently to a set of strings. For me, this is the only one besides Dominants that I have ever liked on my viola.

The String Centre Slide On Wire Violin Mute (Viola) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in an apartment, so I try and make my practicing as quiet as possible. That said this was not the way to go for me. This didn't quiet the violin a whole lot. I ended up going with a metal heavy mute which really dampens the sound, and alas- no complaints from neighbors!

Suzuki Violin School Volume 3 - Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew up learning the Suzuki method and believe in it 100%. This should really be learned with an instructor versus being self-taught. Suzuki method is also a philosophy - look for the book by Suzuki himself explaining this. My violin teacher made all her students' parents read this when we started lessons.
This collection of songs not only is a good collection to learn various techniques on the violin, but I still have fun years later playing them over and over.

Cecilio CVN-100 Rosewood 1/16 Size Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These cheap Chinese made violins look OK opening the box, but they're strictly beginner's material. My daughters needed to upgrade after 1 year, and the supposedly higher-grade models are absolutely no better.
The other reviews I read here look suspicious -- seller or manufacturer padding??
Take your chances on one of these if you want, but read the return policy VERY carefully.

These strings have a highly flexible, multi-strand nylon core and cater to artists who feel uncomfortable with steel strings. Dominant string deliver tone and response comparable to gut strings, without gut's attendant drawbacks.The sound of the Dominant string is full and mellow, yet rich in overtones. Its radiance and ability to project sound without being metallic comes to the fore both in arco and pizzicato passages. Other advantages are Dominant's effortless response to intricate fingering and its tuning stability even under extreme atmospheric conditions.Dominant strings should be changed at appropriate intervals to ensure continuity of tone color.Note: The playing and tuning peg length of the string are critical, so the string used should be exactly matched to the instrument's measurements.....
