D’Addario Ascente Violin Strings A310 4/4M Set

The price of these strings was low and it was not the brand I have used for years. They are new to me so I cannot be more specific than saying that I was really pleased at how good they sound. I put them on an old violin I am doing some restoration on, and thought it sounded terrific. Very pleased. I have not had them on long enough to state how they hold up.

Buenas pero hay mejores

So, I personally have played on 3$ sets (all 4 strings for 3$) of strings before these. These are miles better. Value wise these are great. They take a little while to stretch before they stay in tune (this is expected from synthetic core strings). Compared to a pure steel core string – these are easier to play and are less “scratchy”. I’m not going to say all steel strings are as scratchy as the super cheap ones I started on.

Now on to my *. These are a value option, they are a good value option. I’ve heard prelude, dominant, and peter infield all of them are hands down better to my ears. I don’t feel that it is fair to compare a 28$ set of strings to a 110$ set of strings especially since sound is so subjective. As a value offering – imo 5 stars.

Since these strings are synthetic, they tend to take a long time to settle and stay in tune. They sound very nice for the good price they give you. They packaging was very nice and the 4/4 strings fit perfectly. They aren’t the most durable string out there though, due to the core not being as strong as others.

Resonate beautifuly, keep pitch pretty well, highly recommend

I’ve been playing music for decades. Started on viola back in 5th grade. Recently started violin to improve my treble clef sight reading. Purchased to put on a student grade 1970’s German violin I picked up at Goodwill. I use D’Addario’s on my acoustic guitar and figured I’d give these a shot for the price. They are FAR better than the price point would lead you to believe. They broke in after an hour or two of playing and while I don’t exactly buy into D’Addario’s marketing department’s “expanded tonal palette” claims they are good sounding strings and a bit more colorful and a bit warmer/less harsh than steel strings. They, and a bit of noodling with the bridge position, helped clean up the sound on that violin. They feel great under the fingers and are absolutely rock solid in their stability. That part the people in marketing got 100% right. Have barely had to tune that violin after they first got stable. Are they a set of Evah Pirazzi or even Dominants? No, but they are dang good, especially at $21 with prime shipping. My instructor even remarked on them, asking what they were and saying they are “good strings” after playing on them for a bit. At $21 you really ought to try them as they are a cheap alternative to steel strings and I think a good upgrade for beginners and intermediate students.
