Used Ardsley precision drops and it instantly solved pegs from slipping. One less headache to deal with.
Thanks!
I loved the way my instrument sounded after using this strings. The medium tension definitely gave my hand a break from having a bit more tense strings. These are a great option for cheaper than other big brands such as Larsen or Thomastik.
They worked great on my instrument, and I think they are really worth the try.
Very powerful and rich resonance on G and D. So far, I'm enjoying the deeper sonority that the strings bring out in the violin.
My violin teacher recommended to purchase from the Concord and I am glad I did. The great service and I will order again from Concord.
These new strings from Thomastik are fabulous! They project well on my 2015 violin without being too bright or too warm, especially the G string. They took an average amount of time to settle (about a week) and respond well to various colors. Another important note is that the E string has an easily removable ball.
This is the 1st time I’ve used these strings, but have used its “brethren” Zyex & Helicore some years back. These string create a solid pleasing central resonance; they do not particularly try to emulate the “gut sound” or provide additional warmth & coloration as some other popular synthetic strings do. I’m considering this a “journeyman string set” really very nice for jazz and folk, not that a classical piece would suffer from it. I’m very pleased so far.
Love the clarity and resonance. It works beautifuly on my Goffriller cello. I hope cello strings could come with more affordable prices. They are in gernerall much more expensive than strings for any other insturment.
I have to say that Jargar E strings are great, Red, Blue and this one. Really like the sound and the “meaty” texture!
It’s so personal when it comes down to E string in general, one of my friends totally loves it but for me and my violin it was okay. I still prefer Blue Jargar E string over Hill E string.
These strings are very warm sounding. They might sound dead on a weak sounding violin. My violin is loud with lots projection, so these strings give it lots of warmth. If you like strings like Infeld Reds, obligato, or Corelli Crystals, but want to avoid any playing issues or high tension, you should give these a look.
I was playing on my new viola with the Dominant strings it came with. My instrument repair guy suggested I get Obligato strings. Your website suggested a Larsen A with Obligato D, G snd C. I took a chance and I’m so glad I did! My instrument sounds so much richer and fuller. I’m very happy with these strings.
Pirazzi Gold are simply the best. I keep trying other strings and am initially impressed, but I always return to these. Best combination of clarity and quality, hard to beat.
Concord Music Supplies always delivers great quality materials. I like their competitive prices and their fast shipping. Been ordering my strings since 2004-5 maybe…
We needed to replace a string on one of the violins in our house. The strings from Thomastik Violin Strings (Vision Violin set VI100) were highly recommended and we chose to order from Concord instead of purchasing from a local store after suggestions from a professional violinist. Price was cheaper than the local store and arrived earlier than expected. The strings were easy to swap out and they held their tuning remarkably well for being brand new strings. We will definitely order from Concord again.
Have always had something like this for my cello...they used to be slightly different, and went under the name of "Dampit" . Since I use them steadily throughout the cold, dry winter, I really can't say how the instrument would be without them.. My luthier of many years ago advised to always use them in the winter. Works better for me than the humidifiers one attaches to the inside of the case and has a packet of "stuff" which absorbs water when soaked and then put in its case and attached to the inside of the instrument case. Some instrument cases do not have any place to attach these, so the GEWA works best.
These are probably the best viola strings I've ever used. The rope core version has more clarity, focus, and quicker response time than the regular synthetic version.
Have tried many D strings on my old cello, and all were different kinds of "dead" sound, especially in the upper registers. Not so with the versum D, which even from the beginning came to life and had a depth and richer sound than any of the other brands tried. I recommend it, for most people.
The clarity this string achieves within the set is really great as the tone is still very warm. The only downside is that the C string lacks a robust quality that I sometimes find myself looking for. Outside of this “issue” the clarity more than makes up for it. I pair the set with a strong tension Larsen A. Highly recommend trying.
A small, easily moved mute which is always attached, and always available. The only kind to have ! One can play muted or unmuted; takes seconds to put in place, even less to remove.
I wrote earlier about my problems with a "C" string breaking while re-stringing my cello. And while I was a bit frustrated at the time, everything post-event couldn't have gone any more according to Hoyle. Concord Music staff wrote to me upon reading my initial review and provided an E-mail address for Pirastro USA, suggesting I write to them. Within fewer than 10 hours I heard from the company via a gentleman named Mr. Ed Mingo. He offered to send out a new string immediately and waive the requirement to send the company back the broken string this one time--quite generous of him since I no longer had the string in my possession. As I said earlier and which bears repeating--the "Gold" strings provide a dulcet and full sound--a pleasure to listen to under ear and with this type of customer service--where a company fully stands behind its products--I will re-introduce the EP Gold strings into my string rotation. Many thanks Ed and Concord Music staff.
