Review: The best string at the best price - This string set is one of the best I have ever played on!!! I like them better than Evas which cost 3 or 4x more, and better than the Larsen Tziganes. In the same price class they are better than Dominants and run circles around Zyex (terrible string) They have soul, and last a long time. I have three violins strung with them. An electric, an old turn of the century nice german strad design set up for celtic with a fiddle bridge, and a 100+ year old Medio Fino french made violin set up for classical. On all three violins they sound and feel superb. They project very well without sounding harsh, yet cover lower volume dynamics with ease. I have the set with Pirastro's E from their Gold set on Medio and it just makes me want to soar into those higher positions just to hear it, best sounding and playing E I've played in a long time. Intonation is very accurate and feels organic and natural. A real joy to play. As far as longevity goes, they've been on the fiddle about 5 months now with no sign of going false. I use Jade rosin if you'd like to know. I also like how they work well on both of my acoustics that have such different tonal characteristics. That's rare. You cannot go wrong with these strings, and the price is remarkable. Highly recomend them!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It is only the E string that has the ball at the end, correct?**
A: All the strings in the this set have ball ends.Thank you

**Q: Can someone please explain the difference between 4/4 1/2 and 3/4 string size. Does the size of the violin make a difference? I have a 1/2**
A: Hello,
Yes the size does matter.  The 4/4 size strings are only for full size violins.
Most strings will be set for each individual size of the violin.
Tonicas middle set fits 1/2 and 3/4 size violins which is what you should get.  The 4/4 size would be way to big for your violin.
If you have any other questions then please do not hesitate to contact us,

Thank you,
Alexi Strings Inc.

**Q: is these strings better to use with classic or  jazz?**
A: That's a simple question with complicated answers that can vary with the instrument and the artist.  It's often a bit of an experiment over time, to find the right match.On my daughter's older German fiddle, these strings are well-balanced and responsive, not to mention reasonably priced.  She plays a wide range of musical styles, including baroque, classical, romantic, gypsy, old-time country, bluegrass, pop standards, etc.  On her fiddle, the Tonica strings are suitable across the spectrum.

**Q: Does every string have a ball end?**
A: The G, D, A have a ball end. The E has a choice of ball or loop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality string at a reasonable price
*by A***I on February 8, 2025*

Great intermediate string, good tone with little scratchiness. Holds tune well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These sound great on my Mendini MV300
*by C***Q on August 18, 2018*

These sound great on my Mendini MV300. I removed the Celilio strings that came on this violin. They were okay, but I have a hard time learning an instrument if I am not in love with the sound. The violin had a nice ring with those Celilio strings, but the sound was missing something. The violin is very clear now. I love the strings. I would not use them on a better quality violin because if I spent more on a violin, I would want better sounding strings. For the price of this violin, these strings greatly improved the sound. It seems that it is easier for me to notice when I am off on hitting the mark on the fingerboard with these strings because the sound is purer. My fingering has greatly improved as a result. I hope that makes sense. I am a senior citizen self learner and don’t know exactly what terms would be used. I am waiting until the violin instructor at our music store recovers from surgery so I can start lessons.
