Thomastik-Infeld VIT100 Vision Titanium Solo Violin Strings, Complete Set, 4/4 Size, Synthetic Core

These are overall great strings, but I could only give three stars because they claim to be bright, which I thought would be perfect for my dark violin, but alas, that brightness was not delivered with my violin. Now that's just my violin, so they may work great with other violins. Other than not giving me the timbre I wanted, they had a nice sound overall. That's what took away one star. The other was that the G string broke, which could have been the way I wound it over the peg, but it broke within a couple weeks. But don't get me wrong, they were fine strings overall. Just not what I was looking for. Edit: I upgraded my violin, and they sound wonderful on it. I upgraded my rating of this product to five stars. They have nice bright sound, great response (until they're old, then not so much), and lasted me a decent amount of time, that is about three months. Three months of sometimes very intense playing, but they still held up. The price ain't bad either.

These strings make my violin project very well. They have a brighter sound than strings I have bought in the past. The price point is better than Eva Parazzi and other soloist strings. They do take some time to break in, but are definitely worth it!

Quality sound. Break in easily. Always the brand I purchase for the last 15 years

I tried these on a couple of different fiddles. They sounded very nice on my early 19th century Hopf, which has a naturally dark tone. I am a fiddle player with 40 years of playing behind me, and I play mostly Old Time and Celtic. for Irish Airs and Old Time Waltzes they were beautiful sounding with a rich sound with lots of harmonics. My Hopf has a strong deep bass and these strings kept that and added harmonic overtones to it. Lovely to hear. However, on upbeat fiddle tunes playing double stops, these strings were a bit much. There was just too much complexity going on. It just wasn't as clean as I like. I put my Dominants back on and fiddling sounded much cleaner, at least to my tastes. The other fiddle I tried them with was a pre- WWII German trade fiddle (real nice looking with one piece back). This fiddle has a brighter tone than my Hopf and is less dynamic sounding. The Titanium Solos were just too bright for this one. Lacked warmth. I have tried both Infeld Reds and Dominants on it and both are better with the Dominants being a bit better than the reds. Just for kicks, I put the Titanium Solos on an early 70's Ton Klar student instrument had a set of Obbligatos on it. Took the T-Solos right back off. Could have made ones ears bleed. :) The Obbligatos at least sounded nice on it (strings probably worth more than the fiddle). In conclusion I think these are very good strings for a full bodied warm sounding violin being used in Classical Music or other music that doesn't use a lot of quick double stops. They are quite loud, a bit louder than any of the other strings I have, and would take a loud instrument and really kick out. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because these require just the right instrument and music style instead of being a universal string like Dominants. I am going to try Tonicas and Zyex next to see if they can outdo the Dominants on either of these two fiddles. [EDIT-update] In the fall of 2016 the neck pulled lose from my early 19th century Hopf fiddle, so used my trade fiddle until I finally put the neck back of the Hopf in December 2017. I increased the neck angle for a taller bridge (had a very short bridge before). Now the Vision Titanium Solos sound much better, with the complexity of tone on fast double stop fiddling being much better without losing the beautiful tone on slower tunes. For this particular violin, I'd go with a 5 star now.

I buy this strings from this seller everytime I need. Would say that price is awesome, I used to buy strings from the musical stores online, but the prices there sometimes 2 times more expensive, so I'm happy a found the same product on Amazon! Just great strings, I like D and G silver more than aluminum, it lasts less (D especially)but sound not metallic. It fits to my 1982 violin perfectly.

I love these strings for their longevity and quality of tone. I last bought these 8 months ago, and I play about 30 minutes per day. So far I have not needed to replace them, their tone quality has been just that stable. Best of all, the e string is NOT tinny or metallic - no need to buy a separate E string if you get the full set!

I have been purchasing it from this awesome seller. Good quality. Fast shipping in secured package.

These are some of the best strings for the price I've ordered. The E has a removable ball end so no need to fret about needing a loop end. I play multiple styles, trad. to orchestral repertoire and these strings sound great on all of it. They've been the longest lasting strings I've had. I ordered these almost a year ago and I'm just now to the point of needing to replace them. I play on average 2-3 hours everyday and they've held up wonderfully. I suggest ordering these over dominants and Evahs, they sound better than dominants and last longer than Evahs.

Livraison impeccable et cordes de qualité.

Io sono violinista, e da anni suo queste corde, per me sono il giusto compromesso tra qualità e resistenza.

Gute Qualität. Bin ich sehr zufrieden.

I've used Thomastik Titanium Solo violin strings, for almost 6 years. I play violin everyday for approx 4+ hours either solo performing or practicing. I change these strings approx every 3 months because over time they lose their brightness and resonance. But unlike other strings I've used, these do not unravel nor do they appear to physically deteriorate. After 4 months they still look as good as new. Only the sound quality has deteriorated and I only notice this when playing classical repertoire in higher fingerboard positions. Sympathetic resonance, tonal colour, and dynamics are very important in classical repertoire, and therefore strings of any make do have to be replaced at regular intervals. However, in my experience, Thomastik Vision Titanium Solo strings require to be replaced less frequently, and they require very little tuning adjustment unless playing in very different climate environments. There is little noticeable difference when playing traditional Scottish fiddle music because it is played mostly in finger position violin 1st position. Once settled in, these strings last longer than others that I've used. They project sound really well and therefore well suited to solo public performance. They are bright but warm. My Violin has a rich full bodied sound, but these strings, along with my classical violin technique which I have developed over many years, work together to produce the most beautiful sound regardless of the music genre that I play. I am primarily a classical solo violinist but also play a very broad repertoire that includes traditional Scottish & Irish fiddle music, and also baroque, klezmer, and pop. I love the rich, full sound, and dynamic range that these strings produce across all genres of music. These strings really do 'sing'. Listeners often comment about the beautiful tone. Unequivocally, these strings are a major contributing factor to producing an amazing sound! These strings are not cheap but they last longer and produce a much richer sound than others that I've used. The sound from other strings sounds flattened compared to these Titanium Vision Solo Strings. As recommended by luthiers, when I replace my strings I always scrape some pencil graphite into the nut and bridge grooves which acts as a lubricant that helps the strings slide freely over the nut and bridge when being adjusted, and therefore considerably reduces the risk of the strings snapping (breaking).
