Ratings & Reviews
Strings are amazing
Who reviewed these poorly? These strings are FIRE. Best ones ever, close second would be Eudoxa. They sound absolutely incredible but I suppose everyone wants an obnoxious, bright, in your face sound rather than the sophisticated warm sound of Oliv and Eudoxa. Try them out! If you're a record producer like me they're essential to access certain tones.
So far...
I recently bought this strings and I will highly recommend the Gold E String, It is really soft, full of sound, porwerfull and you can demand a lot to the string it response so quickly, it's really stable, so far I have tried the G and E and will say that the G it's pretty much a standar sting, but with this 2 strings on my violin I get more overtones and the violin just vibrate much more I can't wait to try the A & D....
