Thomastik-Infeld IR100 Infeld Red Violin Strings Set 4/4 Size

These are as people say: a warmer, richer dominant. Personally, dominants tend to sound harsh and bright on my low-intermediate violin, but these strings sound perfectly balanced and have many layers of sound to it. They project decently, and last fairly well for about 6 months. The G string did start sounding a bit unclear after the 4 month mark, but it wasn't horrible. The e string tends to whistle quite a bit but has a beautiful sweet tone with amazing projection. The whistling may have been my fault though, since when I had them on from 10-4 months ago, I was a measly grade 2-3.5ish player. I'll try them again eventually, now that I can currently play grade 5 music. I definitely miss these and want to rip off the dominants i have on and slap a new set of these, then cuddle my violin and apologize for making it even touch dominants. If I ever need strings quickly and don't have time to research and make a decision on a pair of strings I haven't tried, these will be my go-tos.

I've been through 3-4 sets of these strings during the past few years after searching for "THE strings" for me. I have been very happy with the overall tone quality of this set of strings (I would like to note that I did once try the Evah Pirazzi set and found them to be too loud and harsh for my taste). Obviously strings are hard to review for the benefit of others since it is such an issue of personal preference. My only complaint is that the e string does whistle sometimes, but I don't think this becomes an issue until several months of use. I would definitely recommend trying these if you're looking to upgrade from Dominants and/or are disappointed with some more expensive options.

Great Violin strings

My daughter, advanced player loves it. Thick and richer tone with some complexity. We don't know about longevity of strings yet, we heard it doesn't last that long, we will see. My daughter didn't like E string, it whistles. Had to change into Obligato E. Considering if Zyex is more economical option because it warms up the tone and last longer I heard.

Up to professional standards, unmatched value for the money

I just put these strings on my violin so I can't comment on longevity yet but the sound is wonderful. They were easy to put on and clearly different from my old strings (which came on my beginner/intermediate $1500 violin)- visibly thicker G and D string and just a pluck makes the body of my violin vibrate which my old strings barely did. The sound is deep, resonant, and mellow. I live in an apartment so I practice with a metal mute and wow, even with a heavy mute the sound is still lovely! I'm really surprised that something small and relatively inexpensive- a switch of strings- could so obviously change the sound characteristics of violin. Very happy with these strings, will update on longevity later.

I put this on my violin after neglecting to change my strings for quite a while. It took a few days to fully break them in, and I even did a few recommended warmups specifically to speed the process along. After a few days, they sounded great! Just know they will act differently on every instrument. Recommended for young professionals.

I've used Infield Reds before, they always had nice smooth sound an were very stable.These particular strings had to be sitting on a shelf for many many years. They were $20 cheaper than any where else online. They were in a package that was not vacuum packed. They would not hold tuning for 3 days, and would constantly go flat in a matter of minutes. The E string whispered very loudly. I've uses the Reds on and off for many years and this is a first. I've never had these issues before.I threw away the strings after 3 days. I also threw away $70. Ouch. I put on another brand of synthetic strings, and had no problems at all.I should have immediately returned them when I saw the poor packaging, but greed won out!If the price is too good to be true, well I know the answer to that statement now.

Sonido agradable y con proyección, en cuanto al servicio de entrega fue rápido y en buenas condiciones

Ottimo prodotto,ottima resistenza,suono forte e brillante. Come descritto

Reçu très rapidement, je me suis empressée de les monter puis de les essayer. Elles ont un bon rendu, le timbre des cordes correspond à ce que j'en attendais...chaleureux, une corde de mi pas trop agressive.Satisfaite du résultat, j'ai hâte de les faire vibrer à l'orchestre...

Love these on my violin. I've only been playing for two years and these make my instrument sound better.

骨太でパワフルな音です。それ以外に弦自体が強いキャラクターを持っているわけでは無さそうで楽器の特徴を強調するタイプの弦だと思います。
