If you are interested in quality steel core strings and you have not tried Pirastro Chromcor, then you should
They are even, relatively rich and a little warmer than most steel core strings. They are stable in terms of pitch and tuning, and seem to last for a really long time
They are accompanied by special plastic rings in all four strings, to protect your bridge.
In my experience they work best with dark and sticky rosins, such as the pirastro schwarz or the hidersine 6v
They are relatively loud
Considering all these, they could be great for modern music genres, country, blues, rock, jazz and electric instruments as well. Moreover, they could make a student instrument sound really lively and comfortable for beginners who cannot mess with tuning issues
