  • Great synthetic string under the price of Dominants
Style: Medium Tension Size: Full Set
My strings had long been dead on my violin, and weren't great before they died either. They were far too bright and tinny, with a cutting, flat, and piercing sound. I decided on synthetic core strings because I thought that would help add depth to the violin and mellow it out a bit. My price range wasn't quite in the ballpark of Dominants, so I decided to go with these strings, even though nobody I knew played with them before. In particular I chose the silver D set because as the cello is my primary instrument, I'm a sucker for a hearty low end sound. First impression was that the A scared the crap out of me when stringing it up. The combination of a silk core and an aluminum wrapping makes the string feel like it is ready to snap while tuning. I had made sure to well lubricate the nut and bridge with a pencil before stringing, but it still had a horrible feeling to it. I got the string up to about a G, at which point the change in pitch relative to the amount I turned the peg dropped off, the exact sign that your string is getting ready to fail. After quadruple checking that it was indeed an A string, I finally just decided to bring it up to pitch. It got there eventually, but not without a large amount of sweat and nervous swearing on my part. The other strings went on just fine, and I got to play it for the first time. Immediately I noticed a huge increase in the sound from even when my last strings were new. The silver low end did exactly what I wanted, it brought out the deeper tones of the violin and made it sing clear and rich. The aluminum A takes a bit of getting used to, it has a tackier texture than that of a silver or chrome wound string, but the sound from it is surprisingly good. Unlike my last A which was shrill and piercing, this A has a lot more restraint in the sound. Warm and rich it matches the silver D and G particularly well on my violin. The E I feel is nothing to write home about, but is not the worst E I've played on. Perhaps it is the cellist in me talking, but nearly every E I've played hasn't been to my liking. However, the E provided blends moderately well, and while lacking the mellowing qualities of the lower strings, let's face it, who wants an E to mellow? Bow response is good, with the aluminum A being a tiny bit slower than the others. The difference is hardly perceivable while playing though, and it does not at all keep the A from slowing down a fast passage. The biggest thing to overcome will be shifting on the A, those who are used to harder metal windings may find it a bit unsettling at first, but good finger tip calluses will help with that. Overall these are great strings for someone looking for a powerful yet a bit more soothing sound. I recommend the silver D and G in particular, as the low end of violins seems to be a bit overlooked. If you can get these strings with a bit better E I would advise it, but the supplied E will do just fine if not. ... show more

  • Brilliant
Style: Medium Tension Size: Full Set
The sound coming from these strings is wonderful! It is bright without being cheap sounding, and full! I put these on about 2 weeks ago and have only had to tune them once or twice since, and I play everyday, sometimes for hours at a time. Love the response I get from these. And the price! Can't beat the price! I used to always purchase silver wound gut, for a small fortune, but can't afford them anymore. Was looking for an alternative, and remembered reading that Celtic fiddler, Kevin Burke, had used these strings, so I decided to try them. Happy, happy, happy! Nov. 11,2013...I still love the sound of these strings, but find that the A is coming unwound after about 110 hours of play time. My nails are not long (I'm a biter) so they are not stressing the strings, but I do find that I have black fingertips after playing, leading me to believe it is a chemical reaction. The strings are unwinding at the D note first position on the A string. Must be a popular note! :-) Also, these strings are loud, so be sure you have confidence and good intonation! ... show more

  • Quick response and good projection for light tension strings
Style: Light Tension Size: Full Set w/ Aluminum D
I like the sweet sound the strings have and the stay in tune really well. Since I did buy the light tension version of the strings, they don’t have an incredibly powerful projection, but for light tension strings, they still do really well. Love the purchase overall!

  • pretty good strings
Style: Medium Tension Size: Full Set w/ Aluminum D
I play fiddle, so I need different things from my strings than a classical player might. The type of music I play mostly switches from bluegrass-type tunes to folk and blues, so I need a string that is responsive and "fiddley-sounding", but sweet enough to pull some good tone for the slow folk songs. These strings broke in fairly quickly, within a day or so, and sounded fantastic on my instrument. They are pretty responsive for synthetic strings, and the low end, the D and G, are booming and full of wonderful tones and color. The A is a little weak, but sounds very nice. I haven't tried the E, as I have fallen in love with the Jargar E and don't wish to try anything else. I've only had the Zyex on a week or so, so I can't address the longevity. Overall, I've been pretty impressed with the sound and playability of these strings. We'll see how I feel in another month or so. ... show more

  • ZYEX Synthetic Core Strings surpass instrument strings priced three times their price and sound superior with a medium tension
Style: Medium Tension Size: Full Set
The ZYEX Synthetic Core Strings, in this case for violin, have ended a long search for a dependable synthetic core string which sounds similar to strings priced three times as much, but are a medium tension. Being a medium tension string, each string will hold it's tuning for a much longer period of time without the constant adjustment of re-tuning. With a medium tension, the string to neck pressure required to double block or vibrato is much less than the high tension strings. The ZYEX strings are ball end, colored red/white at the ball end and each is different within the peg box. Their tone is warm, smooth, and although wrapped, they are tightly bound. The A-string comes in either aluminum or silver (for a difference in price). I have purchased ZYEX strings as standbys for each of my three violins for their next routine changes. I really have found nothing of fault with these strings and I have a box full of rejected, and expensive, trial sets which never made the grade. ... show more
