Thomastik Vision VI100 4/4 medium 4-stars Reviews

Nice strings

I like these strings. I go not get the fog horn with the G string like on some others. The sound seems balanced and not overly strident or loud. Overall I am satisfied.

A good alternative

I ordered a few sets of these last year for my students. They're a good alternative to dominant strings which seem to be the standard violin string, at least among the players and professionals in my locality. I think they are perfect for students as they are bright, but not thin sounding. You don't have to work hard to achieve a sound and this can be encouraging for intermediate students who have not yet fully developed their own sound. They provide a more instant response which I feel students find more satisfying as they are learning. I also use them on one of my electric violins. They're bright sounding and cut through the mix well in a live setting.

good student strings, big sound

Very good value

I am reviewing the medium tension set here. These strings have a very quick break-in time, compared to Dominants. They are a little brighter sounding and have good stability... I use them for traditional old-time fiddle playing, and often retune to GDgd, GDad etc. So this factor is important. I'd rate these as very good for people who want to try a change from steel strings. I'd also say that they are a viable alternative to Dominants if you are looking for a less dark sounding string.
