I’ve been going between the Infeld Blues and Reds with my 1800 German violin. It’s a typically bright violin so I try to compliment it with bolder strings. When I was playing in my school orchestra, I used the warmer Reds for blending. I’m currently teaching and practicing on my own, the Blues have made that much more engaging and exciting for me.
I recommend these (or the Reds!) if you want a more specific profile than Dominants but also don’t want to spend over $70 on strings. Think of these as side-grades from Dominants.
Delivered on the expected date at the anticipated time! Packaging was completely intact, no bends or breaks. The strings themselves were new as advertised, no worries there. None of them were false, so yay!
Easy to adjust and tune up, and I love these strings because they settle in, in just a few days to a week of practice.
They have a warm sound but enough projection and some brilliance on the A and E that really helps to round out the depth of my violin and really aids it to sing on the higher register. Honestly, these are my favorite strings because they compliment and improve the sounds my instrument produces, plus I’ve found they settle in quickly — and these last a good, long while. I only replace my strings twice in a year which is less frequent than most violinists do, I think…
Anyways, these were good, none were false, packaging was good, delivery speed was good, they’re just as I expected and hoped for.
This was my second set and I will go back to it. All violins demand different sets and string combination but I have to say T-I IB100 fits it almost perfect to my taste. Between affordability, sound quality and easiness of sound production, definite 5 stars.
I’m a thomastik dominant user but decided to give these a go. So far they are on par with dominants – sound similar, even tones, infeld may be a little darker. Would definitely buy these again.
