Your cart is empty.Tonica strings have a core made from nylon. They produce a lively well-rounded sound, perfectly balanced across all four strings. Responding instantly to any bowing style, they reward both player and listener with an open and direct sound. With substantially reduced background 'hiss', players can sustain a more even tone helping to achieve smoother string crossings. With a highly responsive left hand feel, Tonica strings remain very easy to play all the way up to the highest positions. The E-Aluminum set contains: E-steel wound with aluminum, A-aluminum, D- and G-silver.

I bought this pirastro violin string set last year. I finally needed to use it today, but after replacing it for a couple days and barely played it... it popped and the loop around the ball just broke off. What should I do in this case? I’m disappointed with this product considering the price for this string set.

I recently had purchased an old violin that had really rusty strings. A professional violinist told me that these strings would be good. At first, I would have agreed, but one of my strings seemed to have split a little. I didn’t expect it to do that so soon.

My teen daughter plays violin everyday as she attends a local fine arts high school so she goes through quite a number of strings. Tried this set out and she loves them. The price point is just right for me so it gets 5 stars.

I really like the sound of these strings on my violin. The same strings won't sound the same on each violin, so it's important to remember to try various combinations.These are warmer than Thomastik-Infeld Dominants (a widely known standard), and are a medium-high tension string (requiring slightly more finger effort than Dominants). They take roughly 12 hours of playing to break in (slightly less than Dominants) and sound a little tinny/harsh out of the package, and need to be tuned more frequently before that.I would replace them every 6 months (on 8-12 hrs of playing per week).

I like these strings because they make my instrument resonate. The previous strings were good, but elicited a more subdued sound from my instrument.
