    • Great for fiddling
Helicores are favorites for fiddle players. I've tried Helicores, Dominants, and Pirastro Tonicas. On my fiddle, the Dominants (the most expensive of the three) were simple, LOUD, one-dimensional, boring-sounding, and unraveled at the ball four weeks in. Comparatively, the Helicores when new had a wonderful, complex tone/sound (as well as having plenty of volume), perfect for my instrument. I feel like I have a lot of range from soft/quiet playing to loud, and a range of clear to gritty sounds depending on how I bow. What is that called - more dynamic? - when compared to the Dominants. Very responsive for fast playing. With bowed triplets I can get that nice chop-a-kah sound whenever I want to. And, they stay in tune wonderfully. I haven't had to touch the tuning pegs since putting them in - I've just moved the fine tuners a few turns. Now that my Helicores are 3 months old, though, they are getting a little muddy. Time to replace them! Of course, your milage on any set of strings will depend very strongly on your instrument and your playing style. Note that there are two sets of Helicore mediums, and this particular set has a wrapped E string (as opposed to a solid steel E string). When this wrapped E is brand new, it is fantastic. It is bright enough, but not as much as the solid varieties. This would be an excellent choice if you have a fiddle where a solid steel E string is too harsh. It also is nice for avoiding squeaking (read: easier to play for beginners). After a few months of heavy playing, however, the wrapped E gets a bit quiet and muddy. And then the wrapping breaks and unwinds under your fingers. That is perfectly normal and will happen with any wrapped string eventually. Just note that it happens more quickly with wrapped E strings because they are smaller and more delicate. I have since gone back to the set with the solid steel E string. Mine lasted 3 months with an average of 2-3 hours per day of playing. Also note that, at jams, I will often strum my fiddle like a mandolin, which will wear on your strings more quickly than just bowing. Note that all the Helicore strings are much thinner than nylon-core strings, which can be a small adjustment for your fingers to get used to, but it does not have any disadvantages. Other than possible issues with the strings sinking into your bridge, if you have a cheap bridge or if you get it wet (rain). This can be avoided with a drop of super glue where the A and E strings sit on the bridge. ... show more

    • Amazing on my Yamaha YEV104PRO electric violin

I just changed out my Zyex strings that came with the violin. Too much shrieking with those. I got the set with the aluminum E string. The strings are thinner and play so much better. Bow response is better, warm tonal quality, no shrill E string. Very pleased with this choice, so don't hesitate changing to Helicore. ... show more

    • These sound great on my fiddle
I play folk fiddle but I'm also trained as a classical player. These strings are perfect on my fiddle. I can play old timey fiddle tune and blues as well as sensitive and gentle back-ups with vibrato, and they work for either style. I've been buying these for years and they are perfect for me. Fiddles can be picky and fickle. What works on one doesn't always sing well on another. Keep on trying until you find the right one for your particular instrument. It's out there. If you're still not satisfied, try different kinds of rosin or have your instrument professionally adjusted. IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! for folk players as well as classical! Wipe the rosin off those strings and the wood under them with a soft rag after every use. Strings caked up with rosin can't sing out. If you can't get the rosin off the strings, use a little alcohol on a rag, but be sure to protect the finish of your instrument. It will dissolve the rosin, but it will eat off the varnish on your fiddle if you're not VERY careful. I buy those little alcohol pads people use to clean their skin if they have to use an injection needle -- but put a rag under your strings to protect the fiddle and the fingerboard!! ... show more

    • Very nice sounding and responsive strings
I am very pleased with the improvement in sound of my father's old student violin (about 85 years old) after I put on the Helicore strings. They are also much easier on the fingers and much more responsive than the student grade strings that were on it (fairly new strings - not 85 years old!). I am looking forward to seeing how well these strings last, since a lot of my playing is outdoors. These strings have a slightly different sound than the Dominant strings I have on another student violin I have. Both sets of strings make the student violins sound much better. I don't really favor one set over the other - they are both pleasing, but do have slightly different tones. (I'm not certain how much difference is in the strings and how much is the difference in the violins. The next time I change strings, I plan to reverse which violin has which kind of strings to check this out.) ... show more

    • strings sound good, stay in tune
I bought these to replace a set of D'Addario Prelude strings, and like them much better, particularly the E string. I found the Prelude E string to be very harsh sounding; this is a big improvement. I'm not crazy about the G string, but that may be due more to the limitations of my instrument or my playing (I recently picked up the violin after more than 30 years away from it). I'm going to give it some time and see if either my playing improves, or the G string settles a bit and sounds better. I like how well these strings stay in tune. I don't know why, but it seems I had to fuss with the Preludes a lot more to keep them in tune. Update: After a few weeks of daily playing, the G string sounds much better. Either my skill has improved, or the string just needed to be played in for awhile before it could sound its best. ... show more
