I decided to give the PI strings a try this time. I am very pleased. The sound quality is superb, my Ming Jang Zu’s sound is noticeable brighter. These will be my go to strings now.
My son likes the strings but he said the E string cord has something wrong with it and had to switch back to his old E string…his orchestra teacher thinks it’s too thin and causes a squeaky sound. I had to order a separate E cord
This is my second set of PI strings. The first set worked for me for a full year (at 25 hours per week play time). The sound is pretty good, although I’m not getting harmonics as well as expected …
Tonality is rich and broad on my instrument. Notes are very attention grabbing, a soloist dream. Very excited about this addition to my violin. The platinum e string is so worth the money, it’s superior.
I’ve used these strings for a few years now and they are the best I’ve ever found. They provide strength, clarity and depth of tone. They break in quickly and last a long time. I find them easily worth the extra money.
– Good strings
– Strings are stable after 2-3days
– plat tinned E string will whistle if you don’t take good care of fast string crossing
– Good projectio
These made my violin sound so much better. I was using a $100 set prior to these. The E string takes just a little adjusting to keep it from squeaking, but with the proper pressure, it really rings.
These are the best sounding and performing strings I have found for my violin. I have tried countless other varieties, recommended to me by former teachers and colleagues, and I have found these to consistently out-perform the rest of the bunch.
I play a nice German violin from 1873 (nothing fancy, but excellent tone), and have not tried these strings on a ‘new’ violin. Using these strings, the response to the bow is immediate, and a variety of colors are at your fingertips. Projection is also excellent. They break in relatively quickly, and tuning stability is very good.
The only thing that I don’t like about these strings is the price, however it hasn’t kept me from buying them so far. I find them to last longer than others I have tried, so perhaps the difference in price is moot.
These strings were bought for a french violin from 1850. It is very bright and needed to be balanced against an older instrument of a more chamber-like nature. Without sacrificing brightness too much is provided a richer timbre which makes the two instruments blend much better than they ever have.
Best strings I have found. The PI have a beautiful warm, full and very resonant sound. They stay in tune after they are broken in and seem to last forever. Not quite as warm as the Passione Solo, but those sounded dead after about two weeks of playing. If have used the PI on three of my violins and just love them. Well worth the price.
The quality of this strings are superior, not only for the richer sound, which is the main reason I bought them, but for the fact that they last longer 🙂
Received product on time. The strings made a noticeable difference to the overall sound quality. I would highly recommend this product.
These are my favorite violin strings! Great sound and good reliability.

I love the tone of these strings and they last much longer than the cheaper ones…

Exactly as ordered. Received within 2 days. Great value. Price is better than other shops that I have been buying strings from.
Great strings. They produced a good powerful sound on my violin. A bit pricey but worth it!
These are the best violin strings I have ever used. They sound great and hold up decently.
Awesome strings, been using it for more than 5 years now.
It’s a good set of strings, but a little expensive.
It would be great this costs a little less.

Great strings but I particularly like the tone of the G string.
