This violin synthetic string set is used on a modern violin. The strings are characterized as very very powerfull. The strings are very polished, or in other words very smooth under the fingers. The G-string is a kanon, never have tried a set which produce such a mighty sound. The D and A- strings are both well balanced, but also both very powerfull en they produce a full, round tone. The E-strings complements the set well. It produces a bright and clear tone. Overal I would recommend this set to someone who has a very silent, or either, muted violin. This set could really bring your violin to live. I would not recommend it to someone who has a already lively or bright violin, as is the case with me. This resulted in my violin becoming to loud. But still, considering, these strings provided me room for playing piano or fortissimo. The life of these strings is overall quiet well. I had to replace the set after approximality 3 months of 3-4 hours daily practise. The price of these strings in comparison to their quality are in line with each other. Overall a good quality string wich is powerfull and bright.
