5 Stars
Excellent tonal quality, and a great price.
I got these strings for a 4/4 violin that I recently inherited and refurbished, and they were neatly packaged, easy to install, color coded on the ends, and they didn't take as long as I expected to finish their 'break-in period'. I'm mainly a guitar player, and a big fan of D'Addario strings. These were a great value, and the quality is superb. I'm very pleased with them.
