D’Addario Prelude Violin String Set, 3/4 Scale Medium Tension – J810 3/4M - Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical and Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – 1 Set

Works great for beginners 3/4 sized and a 4/4 sized beginners fiddles. I can't hear a tonal difference for concerts vs our just good enough for fun.

Got these for my kid's violin, made a big sifference in the sound quality!

They work!

Purchased these strings to replace a broken A string (Legacy, perlon core) that didn't hold up well, the ball end broke off.Decided to try steel core to see if the string would have more staying power and last for more than a month of violin playing an hour a week.The price was right for a begining student to learn on. And the extra strings are kept in the case for future string breaks.Here is what I have discovered, it took me awhile to figure this out.Skip the strings that have perlon or other synthetic cores with early students while they are learning to adjust and tune the sting instrument. Tuning is an art.Later, as the student becomes more familiar and experienced then invest in the pricier and better strings.I learned this because I purchased the less expensive steel type strings for my child's cello, and they lasted!The 3/4 and 4/4 violin perlon and synthetic core I usually purchased weren't as hardy when first getting acquainted with the violin. So I have decided to test the difference on the violin, and so far so good.The sound is acceptable, especially for the price!

After a year of play, and a broken string, these made the instrument sound like new!

My son just started violin in September and the E string on his violin broke. I decided to order these upon reading the recommendations on here and else where. We are very happy with it, seems to sound better than what he had before. I should have ordered two sets so he has another set for backup. Good value for the price and we will probably buy this brand again as he progresses in his music lessons.

Oh my, what a difference! I had a cheap set of $3.99 strings from eBay, and the A string really bothered me, it just didn't sound right, and I am a beginner violinist. These strings are heaven to my ears now, and I will be playing this brand until I reach virtuoso status (ok, at least until I'm good enough for even better strings). Get these, you won't regret it (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USING STOCK MENDINI/CECILIO)

THese strings are a great replacement for my daughters violin. She is an intermediate player, and seems to break her strings frequently. This isn't the best sounding ones we have had, but the best quality and sound for the price for a young player.
