Harley Benton Violin Strings 4/4 3-stars Reviews

Poor sound quality

It is cheap but the quaility is really poor.

It is better to spend more money and buy Pirastro Tonica strings. Huge difference in sound quality.

Weak sound

I changed these strings to my early german made 1900 violin, and it lost all brightness from its voice. Voice became soft and somewhat blurred. I changed them into very bright ones, which were then too bright; very metallic voice. So optimal would be somewhere between them. Nice learning experience though; there is difference in strings. Next time I consult professional about which strings should I use. Maybe E-could be softer anyway, but G should be brighter or something...

My Roth Master violin then has mixed set of spares currently(I have changed string by string when cut), and it plays just well, so maybe some violins are not so sensitive on string characteristics.

Spares

I always keep a pack of these boys in my violin case incase I break a string during a performance, I dislike playing with strings of different sge so I will not use expensive strings as spares as I would be changing them again after!

Cheap strings with descent sound

I had to use these for my 1/4 violin, cause it is a bit large for its size. There are also strings for 1/2 violin, but the full size can be cut to the needed measure.

No problems so far in tuning or setting. I don't know about the endurance yet.
