Great feel. Nice tension. Great quality of finish as always with pirastro. I always used an Oliv E before. This will now replace it full time. A bit thinner and not quite as dark sounding, not as much bloom and fundamental, but for pizz it's better, for slap, not quite as nice, but not far off. Fir the price, great string!

This string solves an issue the regular Gut-a-Like had for me. The regular Gut-a-Like strings are good strings, but the regular Gut-a-Like E-string is quite loose, which means limited note sustain and the occasional over-vibrating and colliding with the A-string (=awful sound). I caught myself deliberately avoiding the E-string because of this, but with this copper winded E, I can finally enjoy the long sustain and good tension that avoids clipping into the A-string. My advise is to stay clear from the Gut-a-Like and pay the extra and go for the Deluxe string set, which comes with a copper winded E and A. Tip: this string is equal to the Gut-a-Like Twister Copper E String.

I am a classical musician playing on a Krattenmacher 5-stringer. I have for many years used Eudoxa, but due to lack of availability now have Oliv G, A, E and Eudoxa D, B. Compared to Eudoxa E, the first thing you notice is the greater intensity of sound. The string feels as though you need slightly more weight with the bow, but it also speaks easily, if a little later than the Eudoxa. It is a huge dark sound, less bright and with fewer treble overtones than Eudoxa. It is a deep "purr", but if you want a loud attack it will take the windows out! I have had the string on a week now, and it is starting to develop more colour and any suspicion of wolf notes is disappearing as the instrument settles to the new tension (I think it is about 5lb less than Eudoxa E). It is actually...
