Review: User: Classically trained violinist - over 30 years professionally 1st 5 string violin I've owned - an electric silent type with bridge pickup Recently put a set of Helicore's on my traditional violin. Last 2 sets of strings prior to the Helicores: Dominant G, D, A, Pirastro Olive Gold E Overall view: I like them. I'd recommend them. First is my initial review of the 4 string set, followed by specifics to the 5 string set -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was kind of wary since mostly every review I read pertained to 'bluegrass' fiddle and was concerned that the sound would be 'bright' especially since I like a darker tone. But, I did read some reviews that said they were the darkest steel strings they'd ever played. Strung them up at home - a nice even-tempered environment. I didn't lose pitch constantly, maybe a little less than when comparing them to synthetic strings. Played them pretty aggressively at first trying eek out their limitations. Nice round tone when you want it. Could dig out some intense vibes as needed. Checked tuning often and after the 30 mins or so didn't have to keep re-tuning. Went to a 2 hour rehearsal the next day in a poorly air-condition room. Lost about a 1/4 tone in the first 20 mins. Re-tuned once more and then didn't have to re-tune any more than usual. After rehearsal I told one of my friends what I was playing and he squinched up his nose when I told him they were steel-core strings. "Aren't they too bright?" I told him I didn't think so, but asked him what he thought and ran the violin through a range of styles. He said "it sounds more articulated" I think the tone and volume is even across the strings. I can make the D string sound a little brighter than the others when I really go after 'that' sound, but otherwise they are even. I like the E string. It has a nice round tone all the time, even compared to the Olive Gold E that I chose to play because I hate an E that shrieks. Not talking about whistling, I'm talking about an E string that has harsh overtones when played hard. The strings are soft under finger. Flexible but not flabby. The E is particularly soft feeling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My 5 string came with VERY BAD steel-core who-the-heck-knows-where-they-came-from strings. I could pull the C-string WAY out of tune just by bowing long, semi-aggressive strokes. Even though I tuned them to pitch (like I had to all the frickin time regardless of how much I played it) I could still over play them. I was starting to wonder if it was an inherent characteristic of a 5-string itself or if was just bad strings. The answer: Bad Strings. Helicores are the opposite of VERY BAD steel core strings. These Helicores strings are very stable. Of course, being new, the strings will stretch, but these did not lose crazy amounts of pitch. I noticed when restringing that the strings felt more taunt than those I was replacing. I don't care for playing an out of tune instrument at any time, practicing or performing, so I check often - strings relative to each other or if I have a more time, relative to a tuner. Towards the end of a pretty intense 2 hour practice/check-the-new-strings-out practice session I didn't have to retune any more. Noticed while wiping down the instrument before I put it up, that they were still in tune. When I play them they feel flexible but don't have any false tones. Pizzacato is crisp and doesn't have any of that 'wang' - kind of sharp-to-neutral pitch change. Electrified through the bridge pickup these strings have very nice characteristics - smooth and rich when you ask for it and aggressive and vibrant when you dig for it. Definitely recommend giving these a try.

Helicore strings are the best for me as a keen amateur. They don't take long to settle down when I put new ones on my violin and the tone is a nice warm one not tinny at all. I also find that they can be used for classical playing and folk music so versatile. They stay in tune consistently. I also use helicore strings on my 5 string electric violin but I don't think Amazon do the 5 string pack yet
