Absolutely changed the character and color of my cello. Previously used Larsen strings, which sounded fine, but I always felt there was a bit missing acoustically; perhaps a bit brighter in sound than I preferred. As it was time for new strings, I did some extensive research and narrowed my choices to Evah Pirazzi Gold, which I use for my viola, and the Il Cannone. After teetering on the edge for weeks, leaning first this way and that, I took the plunge with the Il Cannone (warm and broad) and I couldn't be happier. There is real resonance in the strings and they are quite user-friendly in their "playability". My wife noticed the difference almost immediately and noted the improvement in sound. May have found my "go-to" strings.

I love the thicker e string, it's gentle on the fingers and sounds more mellow and full in the upper register

I love the tone, projection and response of these strings. Currently I use A and D Oliv with Passione G and C and they combine great.

I've been using these strings for several years now. When I was first considering them my stand partner said that with some violins they work well. As it turned out, they are a great fit for my violin. Each new set makes me as happy as the first set.

The A and D strings are phenomenal. They are well balanced in terms of brightness and roundness of sound and combine great with other strings in the G and C. The sound is not metallic and gives a very good representation of your instrument’s qualities. This time I tried them with Passione G and C(Gut core) and I was very happy with this combination.

I just fall in love with this wonderful string! I wanted to give it a shot since nobody around me leave a review. It is highly playable and easy to vibrate with.

I've used Vision Titanium Orchestra for years, and recently started trying different strings. A friend of mine loved Obligato so I tried those which didn't work at all on my violin. Evah Pirazzi were very bright which was fine until I finally changed my fingerboard, which also meant changing my bridge. I saw these Dominant Pros, tried them out and immediately loved them. Warm tone (which I prefer), easy to play and I would purchase them again as well as highly recommend them.

For the first 20 years I owned my #1 violin I used Pirastro gut-core strings. But then I moved across the country and played in various venues that exposed it to sudden extreme temperature and humidity changes that played havoc with string intonation stability. When synthetic-core strings appeared 50 years ago theysolved my climate problem but I never again was completely satisfied with the sound of this violin with any of the many string brands I tried - although some came close. Now that I have been using Perpetual Cadenza strings for the past month I am completely satisfied. Thank You!

I love these strings and have used them for at least 10 years, sound is so pure, I recommend them highly.

A strong, warm and clear sound, with more subtly than synthetic core. I don't find it to be as flexible as Eudoxa, but it works well, without the difficulty and expense of trying all the different gauges available with the Eudoxa. Highly recommend Passione strings!

After years of experimenting, and I mean REALLY trying everything, I am fully committed to Pirastro and their gut strings. Oliv cello strings, and in my case, the stark/thickest gauge, do absolute wonders for my cello. I pair the thick C, G, and D with the Perpetual Solo Strong A or Passione Strong A. If you find yourself in the market for new strings and have a luthier close by for any transition adjustments needed (grooves of nut or bridge), give them a try. Give them a REAL TRY, like at least a couple of weeks. You may hate them, or, like me, they may change your life forever, spoiling you with a new type of sound that just isn't possible with an all steel string setup.

I have a bright modern Italian violin and have had trouble finding the right strings to balance the power and brightness. These strings have just the right amount of huge sound plus warmth plus vibrance and they feel so natural and the sound is elegant. Used to use dominant strings but these are a much needed upgrade. Fivestars.

Excellent A and D soloist
prefer over Jargar strings, which I used for decades

One of the best rosin for its price, totally worth it...
