D'Addario Kaplan Amo Violin Strings - Full Set - KA310 4/4M - Violin Strings - 4/4 Scale, Medium Tension

Why did you pick this product vs others?:One of the best strings there is on the market!

The string quality is impressive and better then I've expected especially for the price. The sound quality is great and the string didn't need much retuning. Definitely impressive durability and functionality for it's price! I needed a string to be delivered as soon as possible before a gig as my E string snapped unexpectedly and I didn't have any replacements. This is more then what I could've asked for!

Good sound and playability for advanced high school level player.

When breaking them in, the sound is kind of too bright but after a couple of hours of playing they settled in nicely and I feel like they have a more dark and rounder sound than my last pair (Heliocore by D’Addario). I’m loving these strings. Honestly, the price is a bit too high for my pocket but they really are worth the price. I’m going to be sticking to these strings for a while.

I really like how quickly they settled in and stayed in tune. I could hear a great improvement in tone.

These strings are amazing - and sound great for a lot more hours of playing than most other strings we’ve found.

I bought two sets immediately. One to put on my violin and one as a back up. I attempted to put on the first set. The G string was horribly shredded where it is supposed to be inserted into the peg. I tried to get it to fit into the peg but it wouldn’t fit because it came shredded. So I opened the second box to put those on. I got them on and attempted to tune and it just would not tune. I double checked the string and lo and behold they were already shredding at the bridge. I never got it fully tuned as they would not tune and once I saw they’d come damaged I took them off immediately. So mad I paid big money for D’Addario’s supposed top quality strings and both sets came broken. Aren’t these supposed to be their top line of strings? They’re certainly some of their more expensive ones. Guess that’s a lie. And I used to like D’Addario

Really love these strings. They definitely darkened the sound of my violin, which is what I was hoping for. Never having used these strings before, I wasn't prepared for how stretchy they are, and I ended up snapping my bridge in half during the initial tuning. I'm willing to chalk that one up to user inexperience and an old bridge. The strings do take several days to settle and stay in tune, so I wouldn't put these on right before a performance.On my instruments, all of the strings sound great and I didn't have to sub any out.
