Tonica Violin 4/4 Alu Med. BTL : Dominants on a budget

5 years ago

About 5 month ago I decided to learn to play violin and bought a budget violinset. Everyone knows that the strings on budget instruments aren't that "good" so after some research and because of tight budget (of course) i found these.

Pros: For me personaly, strings have juicy sound, soft timbre - could say Velvetish type

Cons: Not enough ringing tone because of soft timbre, difficult to play forte sections and what I have first month or so is when strings get out of tune - G, D, and A became flater and E opposite, sharper.

Overall, Tonicas are a great bargain at half the price of premium strings. They're sonically kind of in the middle of the road. I would highly recommend picking a set of these up, definitely worth a try
