The
PIRASTRO Tonica 4/4 Alu BTL
string set for violin in 4/4 size has long been considered one of the most popular sets for beginners and advanced players on the violin. The medium gauge nylon string set consists of an A-string wound with aluminum and a silver wound D and G-string, while the E-string is made of steel and is also wound with aluminum. The tonal result is an open and warm character with an amazingly easy response and round tone.
These strings are superb for this price! When first introduced they were somewhere above £50. I use 3 or 4 different fiddles for my teaching/playing, and although I would love to use something like Evah Perazzi or Obligato I just cant justify the difference in price. These strings work really well on both a very old 1700'S fiddle right through to my bridge electric. Really warm tone with plenty power low down. Stay in tune well. I don't always use the Tonica e string as I normally use pirastro number one, which is a great sweet e , loads of power too. I recommend them to all my students.
