Thomastik-Infeld Rondo Gold Violin Set 4/4 Includes 2 E Strings - RG100

I was surprised to find these on Amazon! Great buy and fast shipping! The sound quality was better than expected. Buying strings can be hit or miss. These did not disappoint.

I like the seller, the strings in my opinion are a little too metallic for my liking but it still is a nice option !

great!!

While on the pricey side, these brought much improved resonance and clarity, particularly making high positions easier to execute. They were a swift and impressive improvement over what I was using previously. I hope they (Thomasik) continue to produce these high quality strings.

These strings are like Rondos but with a lot of depth and sweetness. They give you a full body sound and they last a long time. These strings also gave me a bigger dynamic range. These are to loud for an orchestra setting but they sing over an orchestra, thus being a good choice for a solo performance. Worth every penny.

Very good string.

It’s a real luxury for me to try strings of this caliber. I’m an intermediate player who straddles classical, swing, and fiddling. I also play mandolin and guitar and those are my points of reference as far as economics. That said, I do appreciate warm, responsive tone and pitch stability and I can describe some differences between these Thomastik Rondo strings and my D’Addario Preludes. As expected, the synthetic core Rondo strings took a bit longer to stabilize pitch. Everyone has their new string routine and mine is derived from my experience with other instruments. After initially tuning to pitch I “gently but firmly” stretch each string in segments starting back at the bridge and working up the board. The steel core Preludes will slacken a bit but, after two stretchings combined with heavy pressure open string bowing near the bridge, they’re usually good to go, with normal tweaking for room humidity. Synthetic core strings such as the Rondos take more stretching and additional break-in time to stabilize – leaving aside the E with is solid steel (by the way, this “gold” set comes with one gold E and a second tin-plated E). Along the same lines, synthetic core strings are somewhat less responsive than steel core to peg and fine tuner movements, and I observed this with the Rondos. Once set up my first impressions are a noticeably brighter tone on the lower strings than my Preludes. I’ll add the Preludes have been on my violin for over six months but I’ve used them long enough to know what they sound like new. I’m really impressed with the resonance I hear on sympathetic octaves, it gives almost a reverb effect I’ve never heard from any other strings I’ve used. Harmonics are loud and clear even on the E string. The balance overall is consistent, across strings in position and in different positions. Aside from tone, the touch of the Rondo strings is slightly more “slick” to my fingertips, which I’m hoping is some coating that will wear off in time. I prefer a more dry and precise touch. Overall, the best thing I can say about these strings is they brought something out of my violin I’d not heard before – and that’s worth the experiment.

I don't know, this is my first time trying them and I don't like them that much, compared to Dominants. I prefer d'addario strings, sometimes pirastro. My violin benefits from stronger strings in general.

Leider nach drei Tag D-Saite komplett kaputt gegangen. Bin überrascht. Sonst die Saiten ist sehr gut.

Perfetto, come richiesto
