I tried these on my last violin a Snow Lutheria PV800 and these did not work so well. The G was very jumpy and un responsive. On my current violin, a Ming Jiang Zhu Conservatory these strings work really well. They are easy to play and very warm and rich. I am a little iffy on the E string. The Jargar E and the Westminister E are good Alternates. The Windings are pretty neutral. They are not the most polished but they are not really rough either. I put these up against Dominants, Infeld reds or Obligatos for their sound. The price is resonable as well.
