Thomastik Dr Violin Strings (15)

Very fast on delivery.

No, not the same set of strings! Although I doubt I have purchased more than 5 sets over that time. They are very long lasting and sound great long after they are new. Break in isn't long and the difference is not that much. Not very many people use these, and I have had classical players turn up their nose at them. I find them to be warm, supple, zero bow hiss, well balanced across all strings. I have used them for Celtic, Old-Time, Folk-Rock, Swing, Airs, Waltzes. I don't think I would ever change them unless they break. I probably should but I am frugal and for my purposes, they sound good after years on the fiddle. I don't know if they would work for all people, they are smooth and not in your face. I hate perlon strings with a passion. That bow hiss just drives me nuts.

Like night and day difference in violin sound compared to original factory strings. Each note has a warmer tone instead of a tinny sound. Easier to play.

Love the warmth I get out of these on my 4 string Zeta.Takes out the top end nicely which is exactly what I was looking for.

These strings were recommended to me by one of my favorite players. I have not been disappointed. After playing for about two days they hold pitch with very minute adjustments.
