"Personally, I made the transition to these strings from Obligatos and feel that the extra $20 are much worth it especially if you're looking to achieve a warmer sound. What I will say though is that the strings take a very long time to break in (more than any other string I have ever bought), the first couple of days you will find yourself endlessly re-tuning."
"I was quickly and courteously contacted by the company, Evergreen Violin, and assured that customer satisfaction was paramount to them."
"our go-to strings, although regular Pirazzi strings are just as nice."
"Powerful sound."
"The first few days, the strings sound awful, and then they are beautiful."
"Love these strings, always easy ordering with Amazon."
"I absolutely love these strings on my viola!"

"Broke the D and E strings on my Cecilio 4/4."
"The Amo's work well on a more harsh sounding violin but after settling in they were too mello for my violin. The Preludes are great on my student violin and would probably be ok on my intermediate violin."
"These are the only strings I use on my violin."
"They are also quite durable, as this was my first time stringing my new violin, I found out quickly that they don't break easily!"
"Strings sound great."
"much better than what i had!"
"I was highly upset and am in desperate need of strings so I had to make do."

"Really good strings."
"This is a review for the LIGHT tension strings."
"They are a great step up from the cheapest strings."
"Once I put these on though, I kinda can't wait till my other strings break too, so I can put all the Helicore strings on it... Bc THeY sOUND AWESOME!"
"That make no other cello string, especially for those of us who prefer a non-gut string."
"Helicore cello strings are known to have great G & C strings, which they absolutely did."
"I was pleased to find that the new set of Helicore D'Addario strings created a warm, rich, even tone, especially the middle strings."
