Pirastro Tonica Violin 4/4 Alu med. BTL

Strings

Superb quality and comfort, great for my violins.

Nice sound but, E string weak

G to A nice sound coupled with a new bridge on a cheep violin. Been playing Violin and Viola for years in youth and touching base again.

Unfortunately for the E String, on installation, tensioning it up to pitch, it snapped. Not impressed but the other 3 strings give a good tone.

Dominants on a budget

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

The strings are very clean and warm in tone, My recommendation from the heart.

Best students strings for price

Pirastro Tonica we all know as good students strings and they really are. It's must be update for cheaper Instruments, it's improve sound and playability. They are huge improvement after steel strings. Your violin, yours or your child fingers (and ears) will be very gratefull! They are also incredible on the old German manufacture instruments, they give really maximum for the price! I recommend Tonika set with gold E string or just buy extra gold string and you will see different. (Well maybe not directly by beginners but when cat screaming beginner sound is gone it's time for gold E. It's reduce whistling).

nice warm tone at an affordable price

Prior to these strings I was using my stock violin steel strings, horrible tone. So after moving to these I am very pleased with the results, they do take a little to run them in. But I'd say 2 weeks at the most.
