IT is amazing best string in the world
Good set
Good set of strings for both begginer and profesional
Brilliant Strings
Have come from using Evah Pirazzi (greens) for over 15 years. The Peter Infeld aren't as powerful or bright under the ear, but offer a warmer, more nuanced/complex sound. They do take a day or so to settle down and for the full sound to develop, and I actually prefer the PI sound to EP greens. However, the EP Gold set is perhaps more impressive straight out of the box with a more sonorous lower end (D and G) without sacrificing volume or response. I would love to compare the PI with the EP Gold again.
On my violin, the platinum E is noticeably more powerful than the other three strings, but to my amazement still retains that bare steel E sweetness. It's still on the bright side, but not overly so. In comparison with other E strings, the Evah Pirazzi steel E is a little dull in the higher positions. The EP gold E has a rounder tone, but less sweet. The EP Gold steel E is has a rounder tone but lacks the same sweetness as the PI platinum E, and the Oliv gold E offers a rounder, more brilliant tone, but perhaps isn't as sweet. I think it's a real toss up between the Oliv E and the PI platinum E!
Lastly, tuning stability is good. Longevity - to be confirmed!
Defo worth to give a try, amazing sound
Great sound, much brighter and clear tone, love it.
very good set of string's
it's expensive but it's worth it.
Great Sound
Great strings, I give 4 stars overall due to the E string. I had to change it on my violin as it caused a whistle. This can be a common problem with all E strings on violins. However, the sound and responsiveness of the G D and A are excellent. I would highly recommend these strings. They bring the responsiveness of spirocore together with the darker broader tone of dominants and infelds.
