Pros & Cons
Pros
Very reasonably priced. Will look at purchasing again in future. One of my older ones is in restoration now and i can't wait to try them on it.
Cons
Go with the prelude strings, a real no-brainer. This item has a picture of violin strings, but is listed as viola stings. There are other cheap strings that sound much prelude, piranito.

Price

Edited a year later to add that i still think these are good strings for that classic old recording style fiddle sound of my old 2 fiddles but are clearly inadequate for my luthiermade fiddle
